Amber from Burma dating to the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian), about 99 million years old, natural and authentic, with rare inclusions.
Description from the seller
Cretaceous amber (Cenomanian) dating to 99 million years ago from the Hukawng Valley, Tanai, Myanmar.
This amber can be kept as is or mounted as a pendant or a ring.
This amber is exceptional because it contains rare inclusions.
It offers a good panorama of prehistoric insects.
It is a true window opening onto the Cretaceous period.
Exploring the amber’s landscape with a binocular loupe is a fascinating journey back to the time of the dinosaurs, discovering their environment—twigs, spores, insect remains.
An ideal gift for children passionate about dinosaurs and paleontology.
Optional presentation frame
Myanmar (Burma) fossil amber, or burmite, is a fossilized resin from Araucaria formed during the Cretaceous when dinosaurs roamed (unlike Baltic amber which dates to the Eocene after the extinction of the dinosaurs or copal resins which are recent).
The insect trapped in this piece of amber would therefore have lived alongside the dinosaurs (which inspired Jurassic Park).
This is a genuine piece of fossil amber, as evidenced by its blue fluorescence under UV light and its remanence (yellow phosphorescence, just after illumination) typical of Burmese ambers.
