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.
