Hi Friends! I started this thread for everyone to share their amber photos! If you have it....show it off! :) Cretaceous Mosquito, 9mm Wasp and complete Bromeliad attached to branch. All 100 MYO.

Really hope to expand my amber collection in the future, first I need to invest more in my new fossil room and in a good microscope. 
Then I really hope to get my hands on some nice amber pieces :)

Love the pseudoscorpion & roaches, really beautifull specimens! 
A pseudoscorpion in amber is on my fossil wishlist too! :envy:

These two Miocene Ants are locked together for Eternity in battle, with one opponent having it's mandibles sunk deeply into the other. Meanwhile...a large Spider hovers nearby as if watching the action! Dominican amber, polished by myself.

Whats weird is that i absolutely despise roaches (alive ones) but would love to have one in amber. Just goes to show we all have double standards.

Amazing specimen! Mosquitos in amber, you say? Let’s see if we can resurrect some Dinos from this amber, ha ha!
