Description from the seller
Set of 10 natural Burmese ambers with different fossil inclusions from the Cretaceous period, about 99 million years ago.
The collection contains various insect inclusions, including several well-recognizable Diptera, as well as other small arthropods or insect-like structures. It is complemented with plant fragments, organic particles and natural resin structures.
The ambers differ in shape, transparency, color and inclusion density. Some specimens allow a good observation of the fossil organisms, while others are especially interesting for their numerous organic inclusions, dark plant remains or striking gas bubbles.
The set offers a versatile view of the fossil flora and fauna of a Cretaceous forest ecosystem and is suitable for both amber collectors and those interested in fossil inclusions.
