I wish I could tell you what it is. It looks real cool, whatever it is!

Just a guess, given we don't know the age or origin of your piece.

It's a flower, acacia in Dominican amber. Maybe.

It might actually be an oak flower. I know that for one type of amber this is what is one of the things that is looked for when authenticating the amber.

sorry, forgot to include age. 30 million years old, not identified whether dominican or baltic.

If 30 million is the age given, that puts it more in line with the established age of Dominican material.

If I purchase a fossil, I insist on as much descriptive info. as I can get. I think this makes for a much more meaningful collection and I learn a lot more.

I'm pretty sure your inclusion is a flower. It is an attractive piece and I enjoyed seeing your photo. It's really hard to photograph inclusions and your image gave a relatively clear view of the object.

I posted some pictures of baltic amber a good while back which I study sometimes and I had one section that had seeds in it but I can`t remember if I posted that picture to this forum, but it is a good example of seeds in amber such as for this topic.

I`ll try to find it again.

Rodney,

It was bound to have the info on the label but it was all in Japanese. All I manger to decipher was the age. I probably would not have got this picture but I was lucky enough to visit the university my aunts works at, there were ultra powerful microscopes there that had thier cameras linked to a computer screen so that is why I have these amazing photos. We had to play around with the ambience setting to get the pictures better detail.

Size of amber piece: two or three times smaller than your thumb nail.
