I have 1kg of rough Burmese amber stones ready to polish but I'm a little stumped as to where to start. I've polished Dominican pieces before using a dremel and wet sandpaper with success, but this stuff is older and much harder. In addition to the thin rough skin on these pieces, a lot have rock (or some combination of amber/earth) running through them making it difficult to figure out the plan of attack in regard to finding inclusions and getting a nice shine. Anyone here have experience with this?

Found this rock (upstate NY, Tompkins county). Main rock seems to be shale, but what are the black inclusions in it? The rock on the last picture is different. Is that print from an organism, or just a rock structure? Thanks!

Moderately heavy rock ( not volcanic) with very rough surface, with interesting inclusions. Found in Osage River valley (an arm of Lake of the Ozarks) in Benton County, MISSOURI ( west central MO). If anyone has an idea what this is, I’ll send more pictures.

A small beetle exquisitely preserved in 99 million year old Burmese amber. -
I have just gotten back from a two week holiday in Majorca, Spain. We stayed in a self catering apartment. The area around the swimming pool was paved with what looks like sandstone slabs to me. There were shell fragments in all of them. Most were very indistinct, but there was a little detail in in some. No idea where these slabs would have been sourced from. Are these actually fossils??

I found this 3 cm long x 2 cm wide x 1-1/2 cm thick curved rock just last week on a southeast Florida beach near the town of Jupiter. Our beaches have a lot of fossil shells, bones and teeth. This nugget was different from my usuals finds- larger and softer looking than a shell fossil. It has a smooth fine grained texture and the end looks “pulled”, not broken. Thoughts?

I need help in identifying this. Is it a mushroom in Cretaceous burmese amber? Cenomanian burmite from machine state?

Are things that had been entirely covered by amber(as opposed to only partially, where it would still be exposed at some point), still soft, with moisture, or does amber somehow draw the moisture out of whatever has been sealed inside, drying it/turning it into a husk?

I'm a new member, so thanks for accepting me. My family and I have hunted for fossils, arrow heads, and sharks teeth for many years. It has been a way to pass the time on hunting leases and on the beach. It has always been a hobby, we have never worried about identification of any particular piece...until recently. Being retired, I started going through our collection, just for the heck of it. I found this piece that we have always been curious about. It was found in a creek bed on a ranch near Sonora, Texas, in northern Schleicher County. It was found 6-7 years ago, we leased the property for deer hunting for four years. With all that said, I posted pictures of it on a FB group. It has been called a "cone in cone" structure, an unknown type fossil, and a man made fake. The post on FB has been entertaining to say the least. One person responding recommended this group so here I am. I am in the Houston area so I would be willing to take it somewhere for a better look. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Hey Finally I have managed to find ways to take a zoomed up pics of my baltic amber to get a better view of the inclusions inside (trying to angle an iPhone camera on a loupe to get a good pic wasn't an easy task...), though I really have no idea of what they are. Anyway here are the pics of the amber inclusions: Specimen A: Specimen B: Specimen C: Specimen D - This one is a tubular amber with a few different kind of inclusions inside: Specimen E - Another specimen with multiple inclusions: Last time the pics I posted in my old thread weren't any good to help ID the specimens inside, hopefully this time these pics will do better. Thx a lot guys

Every Monday I Will Upload The Entire Week's Photo Work - Www.amber-Inclusions.dk

I have a large collection of inclusions in Baltic amber - the work is scientific and I will continue to university to specialize me in fossil ecosystems. My website is called, as the username; www.amber-inclusions.dk I started photographing my entire collection so there will be a complete online collection of photographs of a fossil ecosystem. So far I have had all my pictures online - but I have chosen to delete ALL images of inclusions in Baltic amber and start over again. This time will be much higher quality! Every Monday I will upload the entire week's photo work. If I can help you with photos of your inclusions, small fossils or determination of an insect, please feel free to contact me.- 5 replies
