All auctions / Ethnographic / Burmese amber - Amber - 10 Burmese Amber Pieces with...


A lot of 10 natural Burmese ambers with various fossil inclusions from the Cretaceous period, dating to about 99 million years ago. The collection contains different insect inclusions, including several well-preserved Diptera (true flies), as well as other small arthropods or insect-like structures. It is complemented by plant fragments, organic particles and natural resin structures. The ambers vary in shape, transparency, color and inclusion density. Some specimens allow good observation of the fossil organisms, while others are particularly interesting due to their numerous organic inclusions, dark plant residues or conspicuous gas bubbles.
