Hey everyone, I need your help! I recently bought a mystery box with some ambers and i got this one with...something inside. So I took my microscope and took some photos (don't remember the magnification but i think 80-100x) and...still didn't know what it could be! Help please?
Age of the amber: 49 mya (Middle Eocene)
Origin: Lithuania
(sorry for eventual bad photos, my microscope isn't that good)

Miniature facehugger alien? :unsure: Seriously though, it does look spiderish.. I think. Can't really tell how many legs there are, or if it's even just one critter. And with what looks like a fracture & possible air bubble behind it, a view from the other side is probably going to be difficult, if not impossible. :shrug:

Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

It has 8 legs if I counted correctly and I think it's only one animal, but there seems to be something behind it (3rd picture perhaps is the other thing). A view from another side COULD be possible, but my microscope is kinda crappy so I don't think it would work, but I'll try this evening when I'm done with homework or tomorrow morning
