FossilForKids Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) My soon to be father inlaw had some old pieces of baltic amber that he picked up in the 70s. I decided to check them out with my new microscope. This will also be the last time I use a hand held camera now that I have an eyepiece camera. The first piece I looked at is the one I have posted here. I was shocked to find all the bugs that I did. There are 5 other bugs that I couldn't get a photo of. This piece is it's own little world. There are also several large legs of bugs that apparently got away. Enjoy, John Edited November 16, 2009 by FossilForKids If only my teeth are so prized a million years from now!

Nicholas Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Zoo was the right word! Any idea where the amber was found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilForKids Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Zoo was the right word! Any idea where the amber was found? It's a pure piece from Lithuania. I usually bon't put a great deal of trust in the "raw" pieces I get from there. John If only my teeth are so prized a million years from now!
