AI-assisted summary

   

Description from the seller

This is an authentic fossilized resin from the Cretaceous period, with "Elaterid Beetle" biological inclusion in exceptional state of preservation.
This amber was formed in the dinosaur period.
Even during the Cretaceous period the trees lost resin which incorporated insects, on rare occasions, these resins were submerged in mud or debris which allowed fossilisation, creating an authentic jewel containing an animal that lived together with the dinosaurs.
