Baltic amber "mosquito" and "tick" fossil - age/species ID?
DrogaMleczna posted a topic in Fossil ID
A while back I bought this baltic amber piece with 2 insects that look like mosquito and a tick. It's likely real, since it glows in 385nm UV light, but what's its age and what are those insects inside it? Each square on the photos is 5x5mm. Thanks for any help! -

Hello guys I just received this tiny fossil from a seller from that told me this is a real mosquito fossil. (It is near above the number 17). Another question, how rare is this kind of fossil? (mosquito) Also, those other fossils are shells, am I right? Thanks in advance.

Hello! I see this big probably mosquito (0,5mm) in Cretaceous amber. What do you think? It seems real mosquito? I read that is unusual to find mosquitos in amber. Thank you so much.

Found a small bug in some Indonesian amber I was working. It's maybe 2 mm in length, but not sure. It's at a bad angle & I would end up with a tiny little piece of amber trying to get a better view from other angles. Since the Indonesian amber isn't heat treated like Baltic amber, it's a bit darker & isn't as clear, but I did my best. I thought at first it was a mosquito, but not anymore. Not sure what it is, but I'm hoping someone might have an idea. I do have to admit though.. the amber does show some interesting flow patterns sometimes. I can't really shave the amber down any more f

Last year, I went to a gem & mineral show and (among other things) acquired this piece of amber. The seller assured me that it was amber (not copal), but he didn't know where it was from or how old it was. I examined the piece (and several others) with my loupe before choosing this one, based of the number and variety of bugs in it. I have several spiders, a couple of ants, some mosquitos (one with an engorged gut if I'm not mistaken in the ID), a beetle, and at least one midge, plus a couple of things I can't identify. My best guess at origin is Burmese.

I’ve been looking at some Amber to purchase. What do you guys think of this piece? They are claiming it is a mosquito in Myanmar amber and 100 Ma in age. I’ve never dealt with amber so this could be an interesting addition. -
So, when I came here I had a “collection” of only 1 object, a mosasaur tooth which still has a special place on the shelf! Now I can also call myself the proud owner of a piece of amber with a small flower, a mosquito and another small insect I can’t really identify because it’s simply just too small. And a fossilized fish, now all three things are not the biggest, but for me they are amazing! They look good and it’s so weird to hold them thinking that once, millions and millions of years ago those animals were alive and kicking. I bought all three fossils at my favorite Dutch fossil reseller,
