Hello dear fellow forum members,

I see this  burmese amber inclusion online and wonder, is it a feather with a peculiarly branching structure, or is it plant matter?

size is about 4 mm length of the biggest part as far as I can tell .

Thanks in advance,

J

@Johannes Do you agree with feather, or plant?

Looks like plant material to me. Don't know of any feathers that are attached to a branch. Wish I could find something like that. All I usually find are bug bits & debris...
