Baltic amber with Fly fossil insects and inclusions

£21.60

SIZE (Picture scale cube=1cm): 10 x 7 x 3mm

 

All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity

 

Specimen: Baltic Amber with Fly Inclusion

 

Age: Eocene Period –  56 to 33.9 million years ago

 

Location Found: Baltic Sea

 

Baltic Amber is older but more common to find than Dominican Amber which is younger but more difficult to source.

 

We also sell the very rare Burmese Cretaceous Amber which is much older than both.

 

Amber Inclusions are unfortunate insects, plants etc. which became entombed in tree resin (not tree sap) millions of years ago. With the inclusion engulfed, the resin slowly hardened through a natural polymerization of the original organic compounds. This hardened material is known as Copal, which preserves the inclusion perfectly. Through time the Copal becomes buried and, over a several million year process, slowly turns into what we know as Amber. Incredibly this process has allowed us to marvel at ancient specimens frozen in time, as if captured only yesterday!

 

*We would always suggest using a magnifying aid to view your specimen to truly appreciate the inclusions stunning frozen detail.

 

GRADE ‘A’: Amber piece contains high quality inclusion which may require the aid of a magnifying lens to be viewed in great detail.

 

ACTUAL AS SEEN: The image shows the EXACT specimen you will receive. The specimen has been carefully hand selected and photographed. Measurements are as accurate as possible, though be aware measuring precise dimensions can be difficult from irregular shaped items. Whilst we portray colours as close to life-like as we can, colours will vary if taken in sunlight, indoors, from monitor to monitor and device to device. Once this specimen is sold, we will update this listing with new similar selected item, with a new photo and dimensions so this listing will change after you purchase. The scale cube in the photo is 1cm to give a visual size.

Miocene Information

The Miocene Epoch (23–5.3 million years ago) was a time of major climatic and ecological change, shaping many of today’s ecosystems. The climate was generally warmer and drier, but it gradually cooled as ice sheets expanded in Antarctica. This shift led to the spread of grasslands and savannas, replacing many ancient forests and driving the evolution of grazing mammals like early horses, antelope, and elephants. Ape species diversified, with some moving toward more ground-dwelling lifestyles, setting the stage for early hominins. Marine life thrived, with giant sharks like Megalodon ruling the oceans. The Miocene laid the foundation for modern ecosystems, with many plant and animal groups adapting to the drier, open landscapes that became dominant.
