Sumatra Blue Amber (Sinamar Fm., ~30 Ma)

From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
4.3g dark, transparent blue amber from West Sumatra. Lateral view of the same Psudomyrmex inclusion in the previous entry. The antennae appear to have clubbed tips, but each is actually coated/overlain by a congealed drop of resin within the amber itself (this type of suspended resin formation is characteristic of and common in Indonesian amber).© Kaegen Lau

4.3g dark, transparent blue amber from West Sumatra. This inclusion is most likely a winged ant of the Pseudomyrmex genus, although it may possibly be a wasp. A positive identification of both winged subjects is challenging, due to their deteriorated state and their position within the piece.© Kaegen Lau

4.3g dark, transparent blue amber from West Sumatra. This displays 3 of the 4 inclusions contained in the piece itself, each one a Pseudomyrmex sp. (the winged ants may possibly be wasps, but it is unlikely).© Kaegen Lau

4.3g dark, transparent blue amber from West Sumatra. The inclusion is that of a well-preserved Pseudomyrmex sp. of ant. There is very little documentation, written or photographic, of the flora and fauna inclusions in Indonesian amber, unfortunately.© Kaegen Lau

4.3g dark, transparent blue amber from West Sumatra. The inclusion is that of a slightly deteriorated specimen of Pseudomyrmex sp. of ant. There is very little documentation, written or photographic, of the flora and fauna inclusions in Indonesian amber, which makes me all the more excited to have discovered this piece!© Kaegen Lau
