AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A splendid specimen of natural Burmese amber containing a fossil insect, clearly visible in three dimensions within the resin.
Burmese amber, also known as Myanmar amber, mainly comes from the Hukawng Valley and is famous for the exceptional quality of its biological inclusions. This amber is dated to about 99–100 million years old, dating back to the Cretaceous period, long before the era of the great dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex.
The inclusion shows an insect with an elongated body and two pairs of well-developed wings, characteristic of Odonata, a group of ancient winged predators. This type of inclusion is significantly rarer than the common Diptera (flies) found in amber.
The amber presents an intense golden color tending toward brown, with good transparency that allows observation of the insect's anatomical details. A specimen of notable interest for both collectors and science, ideal for display or an advanced collection.
