Dominican Amber (La Toca Fm., 20.43-13.65 Ma)
Barrelcactusaddict posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
Dominican amber from the La Cumbre Mine, from the Cordillera Septentrional. Most pieces range from 5-10g in weight, with at least one containing a large two-phase inclusion (enhydro). Material from this mine frequently presents exterior crusts/aggregates of pyrite (iron sulfide); these were likely formed in a reducing, marine/lacustrine environment, where marine sediments, organic detritus, volcanic material (i.e., ash), and sulfate-reducing bacteria helped to provide the sulfides and iron needed.© Kaegen Lau

Hello, I found this very unusual seashell on a Tampa Bay beach, Florida. It measures 1 3/4" long by about an 1 inch wide with distinct whorls. It appears to be agatized like the coral I find and is translucent when held up to the light. I than noticed bubbles inside of it which must be water? I spoke to a mineral and fossil vendor and he said it was a enhydro and very rare. What do you think? How was this created and what kind of seashell do you think it is? Thanks! Lynn
