Raulsaurus Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hello! I see this 3 amber Burmese pieces with feathers. The seller told my that the feathers are from dinosaur. I am looking for amber information but is difficult to find a good resource. What do you think? Amber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daves64 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Not sure if those are dinosaur feathers, but those are some pretty nice pieces of burmite (Burmese amber). Burmite has been called the hardest amber around & is roughly 99 million years old. Those look like they are genuine & I wouldn't mind having them myself. So.. if the price is right, I'd say go for it before someone else does. @holdinghistory might be able to shed a bit more light on them. Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I'm not sure how one would go about identifying (with any kind of accuracy) what animal it came from. That said, ... have a look at this PDF. Another paper. Here's one about Canadian feathers in Amber. These were all found by Googling "Dinosaur feathers in Amber PDF" 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Troodon Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Another approach is to contact the primary authors of these papers, some may respond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
