DIPTERA burmese - Amber (No reserve price)

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: 0.9 × 1.5 cm Weight: 0.4 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.
