AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Burmese Amber with Insect Inclusion – Diptera (fly) – Cretaceous – Myanmar

A genuine piece of Burmese amber containing a well-preserved insect inclusion, dating to the Cretaceous period (approx. 99 million years old). Burmese amber from Myanmar is world-renowned for its exceptional transparency and the remarkable preservation of prehistoric arthropods.
The inclusion appears to be a small dipteran insect (true fly), likely belonging to a delicate long-legged fly lineage, possibly within the Dolichopodidae or a related dipteran family. Fine anatomical details such as wings, legs, body segmentation, and head structures are clearly visible, making this specimen both scientifically interesting and visually attractive.
Details:
Type: Burmese amber with insect inclusion
Geological age: Cretaceous (~99 million years)
Locality: Myanmar (Burma)
Amber dimensions: 3.9 × 1.3 cm
Weight: 1.8 g
Inclusion: small dipteran insect, family-level attribution tentative
Condition: good transparency with clearly visible insect and natural internal structures
A beautiful natural time capsule and an excellent addition to any fossil, amber, or paleoentomology collection.
