Rodney Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Microscopic view at around 100x of some type of clusters of possibly seeds or eggs that were captured inside this ancient baltic resin. I haven`t been able to find another picture to compare these inclusions with so I can only ponder what they are. Rodney, Ga USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH4ShotCaller Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Cool! At first I thought part of it was an enhydro, but I'm not sure what ya have. Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. -Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I think the pearly/silvery "seeds" are air bubbles. The identity of the textured sheet is a mystery.

Rodney Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 I`m not sure what an textured sheet is but the sample is amber, the inclusions are not air bubbles that I can tell because they have what looks like a outer woody crust or some defined sack around the seed. I have looked at these samples a lot. Rodney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA Fossil Finder Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I agree with Auspex. These look like some object with round, curled tendrils or legs that trapped bubbles of air. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 OK good, could the curled tendrils be a microbe stage of some type of early plant development that was trapped in this ancient resin?? Rodney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
