What is this inclusion in this amber? It appears to be some sort of head, but I don’t know what it is
-
Serious, experienced replies, please! This 0.5 cm long object is attached to a broken coprolite from the Eocene/Oligocene of NW Nebraska. Trying hard to figure it out. Wrong twexture for a tooth and it doesn't look like a seed, either. I have a guess, but right now a guess is all I have. Any coprolite specialists out there? I know the pictures could be better, but I don't have a microscope out here in the field.

I have this piece of chalcedony that I polished years ago in a tumbler. I always thought inclusions were automatically mineral or geologic but a recent thread said that is not always the case so I am wondering if any of these inclusions are biologic, thanks for your help. Oh and there is also an air bubble (last photo) not sure if that means anything

Hi, just looking for a little help identifying this beetle in Dominican amber. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
-
Need some ID help on this one. Eocene, Keasey Formation, and an inclusion or something inside a concretion. Size of the whole piece is 12 x 15 cm, weighs about 6 pounds. Image 1 - Mollusk on top of something that has included into the matrix #2 is a close up of the mollusk and surrounding area Closeup of the inclusion material More images to follow.

Hey! I blindly bought a bunch of rough Dominican amber and found this thing dead center in a large piece. The main blob has bubbles in it so I thought it might just be a pocket full of air, but after looking at the microscope and seeing appendages I'm not so sure. Is this just a fluke or actually something? These are the best photos I could take – any ideas?

[ Baltic Amber Inclusion ] Extremely Rare Aquatic Nymph Of Veliidae SMALLER WATER STRIDER
vermiculosis posted a topic in Micro-paleontology
Dear Friends, I decided to share more from my passion, good finds or interesting things if we talk about Baltic Amber with inclusions. This is still fascinating for me and there is always chance for something extra or new for science. This time it is something that i found first time ever and i don't have it in any book about amber inclusions. Its a Extremely Rare, Aquatic Nymph Of Veliidae - SMALLER WATER STRIDER. Why so rare ? Well in general aquatic organism's are always very rare becouse they was in water or near water so its very simple. Its easy to imagine t -
Hello, I've been intrigued by this for days, and I am wondering if it is a fossil or not? Found in Northamptonshire, UK, which is mostly Jurassic in age. I've found Bivalves, belemnites and some gastropods in the same area. Sorry there's no scale, its about 5mm. Thanks.

[ Inclusion Inside Baltic Amber ] Pseudoscorpion + Enhydros ( "running water" ). Rare but not extremely rare.
vermiculosis posted a topic in Micro-paleontology
Dear friends, i hope i am not boring with my amber passion Its real obsession for me This time i'd like to show wonderful, i can say - almost perfect Pseudoscorpion ( False Scorpion ). People thinks often that is extremely rare but its not. I had i think about 30 pieces in career. Often they are very small, even only 1mm. This one had 2mm in max with body and pedipalps. What is interesting - do you see that drop inside ambdomen ? It was Enhydros "running water" but there is huge discussion in amber inclusion market what exactly it is. One side ( with me ) think that is runni- 9 replies

I wanted to share this exquisite ichneumon wasp in Burmese amber. It’s hard to believe that this wasp was alive 100 million years ago. I’ve also included a picture of a modern one I photographed in my backyard this past summer.

[ Baltic Amber Inclusion ] Diptera In Copula - Mating Flies - Rare Action Scene :)
vermiculosis posted a topic in Micro-paleontology
Dear Friends, This time i'd like to show "scene" from Baltic Amber. Diptera In Coupla - Mating Flies - Copulating Flies. Very good quality for scene like this. Collectors love inclusions like this. Sometimes i got flies in "mating position" but they are not "connected" on 100%. Very clear amber also with ant inside and other flies but i cant upload more mb Enjoy ! Cheers From Europe Artur -

Hello, a couple of weeks ago I bought a piece of amber. All the seller told me was that he had no idea what it could be. It has some cracks, I presume that’s why he sold it to me for a really low price. The piece is less than an inch in length. It is from the early cenomanian (98-99 million years old). It comes from the Hukawng Valley in northern Myanmar.

This past month I was at Latvia and Lithuania for ten nights, investigating their amber industries. Among other specimens, I bought this large polished nodule of transparent Baltic amber, that was reputed to have a "tiny spider" inclusion. I found and photographed a very small arthropod—but since I cannot count body parts and legs, I cannot say it's a spider. The purchase took place in Riga, Latvia; though I was informed that a great deal of available amber comes from Kaliningrad in the former-USSR. Jamey D. Allen - Bead Historian

Genuine amber not releasing smell when heated.
MarielleK posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone. So I have a question about a piece of burmite amber in my collection that I am certain is authentic. It does not release a smell when heated...I've found that my darker colored specimens will release a stronger pine smell than the lighter colored ones, however. Why is this one not giving off any smell? I'm sure it's being heated to a temparure high enough to release the smell. It passed the saltwater test, distinguishes from copal with the acetone test, and has cracks and chips characteristic of amber. It has a rather large inclusion of half of some species of grasshopper. I've -
Inclusion in burmite amber possible relative of Melittosphex burmensis
MarielleK posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello all. So I recently obtained a new specimen in burmite amber from Mayanmar that I think is particularly interesting. It appears to be some species of early bee. This amber is thought to be from the Cretaceous period which is when bees evolved (in the later half) alongside flowering plants. I found an interesting article that describes one of the earliest bees Melittosphex burmensis. This insect had characteristics of both wasps and bees, and was covered in branched hairs, which is a key characteristic of pollen spreading bees. I researched this species and found that my specimen didn't lo -
Hi, Is anyone aware of a good reference site (or book) on insects found in amber? I’m looking for references on all ages and all localities. thanks!

Hand sanded this small piece of Sumatran cloudy amber after work this morning. Once I was done, I was checking it out with my loupe & found a small inclusion. Not exactly sure if the amber is called cloudy or not, but it LOOKS cloudy & those clouds are kinda beautiful. As for the inclusion, not sure what type of bug it is, but I came awful close to destroying it without realizing it. Just plain dumb luck I stopped when I did. Indonesian black (Sumatran) amber, 28mm long with the bug being just barely 1mm in length. The amber itself is a dark cognac hue.
