Burmese amber - Amber

Splendid specimen of natural Burmese amber containing numerous fossil insects, visible in good three-dimensionality within the resin.
The Burmese amber, also known as Myanmar amber, comes mainly 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 ago, dating back to the Cretaceous period, well before the era of the great dinosaurs like 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 flying 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 anatomical details of the insect. A specimen of notable interest both for collectors and for scientific study, ideal for display or advanced collection.
