ecclector Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hello, I would like to share with the forum some amber specimens I possess. These fossils are encased in burmite, amber dated to ~99 million years ago. Anyone else have some? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britishcanuk Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Nice amber! I have quite a few pieces of amber from Burma, including this cool ichneumon wasp. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daves64 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I have some pieces as well, but no inclusions like those. And no ability to get pics like that either.

cngodles Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) I buy some from a seller that is only 50-100 miles from here. Good article in Science Magazine about it last year or the year before. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/05/fossils-burmese-amber-offer-exquisite-view-dinosaur-times-and-ethical-minefield Also fun to use UV light on them: Edited March 21, 2021 by cngodles 1 Fossils of Parks Township - Research | Catalog | How-to Make High-Contrast Photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
