fossil lover 101 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hey! Fossil lover 101 here! I just wanted to talk about my amber. Unfourtunatly, I can't post a picture of it (because of my dinosaur computer) but I'll describe it. It's about 1 centimeter wide and about 5 centimeters long. Inside, there are 3 fly-like insects. I didn't find it though (but I wish I did!), a friend gave it to me, and I don't know where he got it. The amber is one of the best things in my collection, and I hope I get more for my collection in the years to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 ...did the museum give you the location and time?
