    Scorpion in amber

    Got a cool one for you guys: a decent sized scorpion in amber from Burma. Probably about 100 million years old. The most interesting part to me is the tail sort of curves down 90 degrees perpendicular to the body (you can see it in the last pic side view) and that kind of 3D preservation is rare in amber. Usually everything flattens out on a plane so this is neat. I'm excited! The scorpion is about 1.5cm, and 2cm if you include the pincers. Whole piece is 4cm long heightwise.

    Insect head in burmese amber

    Insect head in burmese amber Hello all, I found an interesting piece of amber from Myanmar with a large insect head in it, the head is about 5 mm in size. It shows three teeth like serrations, I suspect it to be a wasp. Its a bit degraded but still interesting to me. Anyone have some ideas what it could be?

  5. Hi everyone! I recently acquired a flower like thing in burmite and I'm trying to figure out what this thing is. The closest match I can find is this thing called Electrophycus astroplethus which should be mystery solved except I'm having trouble understanding exactly what type of plant it is. https://www.palaeontologie-troppenz.de/amber-bernstein seems to classify it as an "algal flowering body" from the Chaetophoraceae family, a family of green algae. My question is, is my ID right and is that really what this thing is? An algae flower? Is that a thing that existed? The idea kinda reminds me of the "algal fruiting bodies" aka porocystis you find all over the Texas limestone which coincidentally are a very similar age (Mid Cretaceous). Was algae just a lot more creative back then? The plant inclusion measures 14 mm, though I've seen them bigger. Any insight is appreciated as always!
  6. Hi everyone! So, yeah is this what it looks like? And if it is can it be narrowed down beyond reptile to lizard, snake, or something else? The piece is burmite so about 99 million years old from Myanmar and measures 12.45 mm across. The inclusion is 8.65 mm long and the "eye" is 1.25 mm. Any insight is appreciated as always!

    Real amber ?

    Hello everybody ! I bought these two pieces of amber on the internet. Is it real amber ?
  8. Hey all, here's the latest 99-myo addition to my amber collection. Not sure I've seen too many other scorpions as large or well-posed as this beefy fellow; he's a little over an inch long not including the pincers/arms. It's a thin piece so the often foggy clarity of Burmese amber is luckily avoided here with little oxidation.

    Paradoxosisyrinae indet.

    Taxonomy from Makarkin 2016. From Makarkin 2016, p, 127: "Derivation of name. From the Greek paradoxos [παράδοξος], paradoxical, strange, and Sisyra, a genus-group name of the family, referring to its mouthparts, which are unlike those of other sisyrids. Gender feminine. Diagnosis. May be easily distinguished from all other known genera of Sisyridae by a combination of the following character states: enormously long siphonate mouthparts likely lacking mandibles [mandibulate mouthparts in other sisyrids]; several setiferous calluses on head, pronotum present [absent in other sisyrids]; very long, slender hind legs (hind tibia and tarsus together more than 2/ 3 of forewing length) [hind tibia and tarsus together ca. 1/2 of forewing length or shorter in other sisyrids]; deeply forked CuP, AA1 in forewing [these shallowly forked or simple in other sisyrids]; complete inner gradate series of crossveins in hind wing [incomplete in other sisyrids]; RP with five branches in hind wing [two-three branches in other sisyrids]." Quote from a private message from Dr. V. Makarkin (October 2022): 'Dear Thomas, This specimen belongs certainly to Paradoxosisyrinae and is very similar to Paradoxosisyra groehni. But in Burmese amber, there are rather numerous other species of this subfamily, partly described in the attached paper. So, it may be identified today as 'Paradoxosisyrinae similar to Paradoxosisyra groehni' Identified by Dr. V. Makarkin, Paleontological Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow.

    Amber Inclusion

    I found this amber inclusion for sale, and my first impression is that it looks like some kind of mammal tail. Maybe it's a plant?
  11. What is this thing? It appears to be some vegetation or a tail of some sort. Could anyone help identify it?

    Smarididae non det.

    Taxonomy according to GBIF: Smarididae are large predatory mites with long oval bodies that are clearly pointed at the front. The (recent) predatory mites are usually red in color and densely hairy with slender, sometimes very long legs. They have either one or two pairs of eyes. Identified by Dr. J. Dunlop (Museum für Naturkunde, Leibniz Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Science in Berlin, Germany) and Dr. J. Makol (Department of Invertebrate Systematics and Ecology, Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Poland) as Smarididae indet. References: Dunlop, Jason A., Frahnert, Konrad, and Makol, Joanna (2018). A giant mite in Cretaceous Burmese amber. Foss. Rec., 21, 285–290. Wohltmann, Andreas (2010).

  13. The wing tips and the terminalia are not completely preserved, a 100% sure determination is probably not possible. An assignment into the affinity of P. aphoe (hence P. cf. aphoe) seems nevertheless possible. Taxonomy from fossilworks.org. Diagnosis for the genus Phlobotomites in Stebner et al. 2015, p. 18: "Eyes without eye bridge; mouthparts well developed; first flagellomere long; last palpomere shorter or equal to the preceding one; wing with a broad distal half and broadly rounded tip; Rs four branched; R2 and R3 separated; origin of R4 apical to origin of R5; male terminalia phlebotomine-like." Diagnosis for P. aphoe in Stebner et al. 2015, p. 19:"A small phlebotomine species characterized by the wing branching pattern, as compared with other described species of Phlebotomites."

  14. Hi everyone! Recently my friend have just bought this. This is Myanmar amber from one seller that we usually trade but he don't have any idea about ID it. So I would like to ask you is this actually dinosaur or bird. What is the best label for it if it hard to ID. Thanks for reading!

    Proterosceliopsis sp.

    Proterosceliopsidae are parasitoid wasps that lay their eggs on or in the bodies of other arthropods, sooner or later causing the death of these. This is a female. Taxonomy according to Fossilworks.org. Diagnosis for the family Proterosceliopsidae according to Talamas et al. 2019, p. 20: “Antenna with 14 or 15 antennomeres; malar sulcus present (Fig. 7); facial striae absent (Fig. 7); malar striae absent (Fig. 7); pronotal cervical sulcus present as a furrow of fine setation associated with glandular excretion (Figs 16, 48–49, 51–53, 59); mesopleuron with transepisternal line and mesepimeral sulcus (Figs 16, 51–53, 59, 63); T3–T5 and S3–S5 anteriorly with depressions associated with glandular excretion (Figs 29, 34, 56, 58, 62).” Several very similar looking species have been described from amber deposits in Myanmar: P. ambulata, P. plurima, P. torquata, P. masneri, P. nigon and P. wingerathi. A more exact assignment is not possible for me. Identified by oilshale as Proterosceliopsis sp. using Talamas et al. 2019. References: Ortega-Blanco J., McKellar R. C,, Engel M. S.

    Burmite amber feather - dino or bird?

    Hello everyone! I recently started looking at burmite amber online and found this interesting feather inclusion. I'm not sure if it's avian or non-avian. Quite wispy but shape suggests avian... I'm not sure. Any info is very much appreciated :)!

    Burmite Amber Insect Id help

    Hi everyone! Can anyone help me id some small insects in amber? They're all from Myanmar and about 99 million years old. They're pretty small, mostly about 2 millimeters or less. I took the best photos I could, any help narrowing down what type of insect (or possibly arachnid) is greatly appreciated.

    Helius krzeminskii Ribeiro 2003

    Taxonomy from Ribero 2003. Between thorax and abdomen sits an undefined ectoparasite, an Acari (mite, belonging to the arachnids), and sucks the body fluid of the crane fly. Diagnosis from Ribeiro 2003, p. 404: "Rostrum ca. 0.5 x the length of head; head ca. 0.81 X the length of palpi; stigma lacking; outer gonostylus almost straight, curved abruptly at tip, not bifid; interbases absent.

    Phlebotomus sp. - Sandfly

    From the album: Invertebrates

    Phlebotomus sp. Sandfly in Burmese amber Upper Cretaceous Hkamti Sagaing Region Myanmar Body length ~1mm Unpleasant bloodsuckers like this sandfly, which mainly fed on warm-blooded animals, existed already in the Cretaceous. My first successful attempt to stack photos.
  22. Seems the questions raised around that exciting news of an avian dinosaur preserved in Burmese amber were right after all. The original paper has been retracted by its authors, after the discovery of another fossil closely resembling the previously discovered skull portion of Oculudentavis was classified as a species of lizard, rather than an avian dinosaur. Disappointing for dinosaur fans, but it doesn't change the fact that any Late Cretaceous vertebrate preserved in this way is still an exceptional find.

  23. Two new species of cockroaches preserved in amber have been found in a mine located in Hukawng Valley, Myanmar. The new species are named Mulleriblattina bowangi and Crenocticola svadba and placed in the Nocticolidae family. The mine where the new cockroach species were found is dated to about 99mya and represent the first and only creatures to be discovered living in caves before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. https://cosmosmagazine.com/palaeontology/dinosaur-age-cockroaches-are-the-earliest-known-cave-dwellers The paper describing the new findings is found here (Sendi et al., 2020) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1342937X20300496?via%3Dihub
