    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.
  2. Hello ! About 5 years ago I showed one specimen with an example of Diptera In Copula ( Mating "Flies" ) and today I have another to show, one of the better examples of copulation I have had in my "amber life". Beautiful Biting Midges - Ceratopogonidae in the last love dance of their lives. Baltic Amber from Poland. 35-54 million years old. Eocene. Enjoy your viewing ! Cheers from amber cave ! High quality picture --- > https://ibb.co/xCtF1K4
  3. This is a boulder opal from Australia. The dimensions in mm are 8 x 6 x 2. The pictures are taken under a microscope, and the resolution is low. in the images #1 and 3 you also could see the background, which IMO is also unusual. I wonder if the inclusion is organic, and if not, what mineral could it be? Thanks!
  4. From the album: Middle eocene fossils from Qatar

    The only one of its kind I have in my collection. This one is around 1.5 cm in length Qatar, Midra shale formation, Middle eocene
  5. Hello Fossil Maniacs ! Long time i didn't shared nothing from my amber cave, so this time i'd like to show something special. I am lucky that i had this alien-fly 3 times in my life. They are extremely rare for Baltic ambers. Diopsidae. Stalk-Eyed Fly. Body with head ~ 4mm. Baltic amber from Poland. I found it in raw amber material, pretty amazing feeling to see something like this as first person after that +- 50 million years Cheers from the cave of amber. Artur

    Burmite feather or plant?

    Hello dear fellow forum members, I see this burmese amber inclusion online and wonder, is it a feather with a peculiarly branching structure, or is it plant matter? size is about 4 mm length of the biggest part as far as I can tell . Thanks in advance, J

    Trying to identify

    I bought some Baltic Amber online, company states it is from Lithuania. The pieces are chips, average size is 1/2 inch. I was looking at them through my microscope and discovered this. The microscope is at 10x magnification, picture was taken with a Samsung phone at 3x magnification.
  8. Welcome to another microscopic look into the wonderful world of coprolites. Here we have a squished (flattened) spiral coprolite from the prehistoric floodplains that now form the Bull Canyon Formation in the badlands of Quay County, New Mexico. Today's mystery was most likely not ingested. Many times the posterior (non-pinched end) of spiral coprolites can be hollow. I may be wrong, but I think this branchy thing (for lack of a better term) slipped in after it was expelled. To me this looks like part of a branch from a delicate coral - but the poop was in fresh water. Any ideas?

    Mosquito in baltic amber

    Hello, I bought an amber inclusion, there are 5 mosquitos(?) in it. I can't see the proboscis, so maybe they are not mosquitos? I think that they are all the same so heres a zoomed picture of the one. Is it possible to know more information than "it's a mosquito" or "it's a bug"? Thanks!!!
  10. 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.
  11. Good evening fossil maniacs. I'd like to share a pictures that i made for one of my friend from Danmark. My hands was shaking when i making grindings and polishing of this specimen. Unfortunately specimen is not from my collection but for sure is worth for sharing. Extremely Rare Praying Mantis Nymph in superb condition and amazing position with well seen predatorial legs. High quality pic - https://ibb.co/jMsd0hY Second pic - https://ibb.co/XDfyNgF Cheers from the amber cave. Artur
  12. Hi, I come from Poland. I love Baltic amber and inclusions are my great passion. On my blog "Planeta Fordon" I posted my specimens which I donated to researchers or to the Polish Museum of Evolution in Krakow. My blog is here https://planeta-fordon.blogspot.com/ A few inclusions are still unidentified, Can you suggest what they are ? I will be very grateful. Number 154 https://planeta-fordon.blogspot.com/2020/11/inkluzja-nr-154.html Number 67 https://planeta-fordon.blogspot.com/2020/07/inkluzzja-nr-67.html?fbclid=IwAR0qwfuDHZZAPFnoxJ6bwXWn446EFYdG5RTKjlzGYtscovs9UmLh-fuqS40
  13. Hello Dear Friends. I have been hunting for a long time for something like this. Finally managed to hit the jackpot. Fantastic state of preservation of a lizard paw from the Cretaceous period - 99million years old, sunk in Burmese amber. 1cm, wonderful details. Claws, knuckles and skin in shockingly good condition - not oxidized at all. Enjoy and cheers from the amber cave. Artur

    Beetle in Dominican Amber

    Hi, just looking for a little help identifying this beetle in Dominican amber. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
  15. Hello my dear friends, Well I wanted to show off a recent article with my findings described by professionals. Soon, I will officially have 21 insects with my name/name/ invented name that I have found for science. Of course there were more but patronymic is not always possible. This time one of the beetles was described with the maiden name of my mother and our family. Stagetus szydlowskae. "Etymology. Patronymic, dedicated to mother and the family from the mother's side of Artur Michalski - Anna Michalska (Anna Szydlowska)." Article - https://www.researchgate.net/publication/360066119_Three_new_Ptinidae_Coleoptera_Bostrichoidea_from_Eocene_Baltic_amber Enjoy ! Artur M.
  16. Does anyone have any ideas on what transformations an organism undergoes as it becomes an inclusion? Why do they often become translucent or transparent? Why do they often turn black/brown? Do they polymerize? How do some inclusions retain a lifelike or unaltered appearance? Why do exposed sections of inclusions have a crystalline appearance? I'm surprised that I can't find any meaningful answers to these questions.
  17. Hello Friends. This time i'd like to show one of my fav. ants from Baltic Ambers. Definitely not common ant. Gesomyrmex in great condition. 5mm body. better quality pic -----> https://ibb.co/gMkyFX2 head closeup ---------> https://ibb.co/SrgPnZ2 Enjoy and greetings from the amber cave in Poland Artur

    Partial Lizard Inclusion.

    From the album: Burmese Amber

    Parts of a small lizard tail and leg. Mostly hollow, but the distal ends of the tail and foot are preserved. My hypothesis is that the lizard body was partly captured in a resin flow. The majority of the body was then picked out by scavengers, leaving behind a resin cast of the body that was filled in by another resin flow. Scavengers were unable to extract the distal elements.
