Cretaceous Enhydro!

[NZ_Fossil_Collecta]

this piece had already come to my attention because of the unidentified inclusion in it (probably a seed) but i've found something new... and WOW! it may be tiny, but i've found a real water bubble in New Jersey cretaceous amber! you can't see it without a microscope and it isn't easy to see it moving, but i've captured two pics that show that it is definitely a water bubble. the two pictures were taken under the microscope with the amber piece tilted differently in each one. sorry no video as when i tilt the piece it involves a lot of re-adjustment to the zoom levels.

you'ss see the air bubble inside is at the top of the bubble in one shot and in the middle in the other.

Cool! Many many many years ago a guy I worked with showed me a piece of agate chalcedony whatever that had some water on the inside of it. I don't know if it was real or "manufactured" but I thought it was cool.
