Hi everyone, A few months back I purchased a spider inclusion inside of burmite amber from between 90-105 million years old which is merely a few mm in size and thought it looked very similar to the C.Yingi spider discovered in early 2018, which is discovered in burmite amber from about 100 million years ago and is only 2.5-3mm in length. Now it is hard for me to get good photos of the spider itself because of its size but I have attached some that I do have to see what your opinions are. Many Thanks, Danny

Douglas Pass & Florissant Quarry Fossils - Cleaning & Preparation
Kelleyack posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I am relatively new to fossil hunting and most of my collection is from the coast of South Carolina. I do have some gorgeous fossils that we found last summer from the Douglas Pass area and the Florissant Quarry in Colorado. I finally had time to get them out of storage, organize and label them but am not sure if there is anything I should do as far as cleaning or preparing them so they don't deteriorate? These are a few of my favorites - the spider, flower and grasshopper(?) were magnified. Also, if anyone has specific thoughts on identifying any of them, I would love to hear what you think. Thanks in advance for any help!
