Specimen: Baltic Amber with Fly Inclusion

Age: Eocene

Location: Baltic Sea

Size (picture scale cube=1cm): 12 x 7 x 4mm

Grade: C

This is 56-33.9 million year old Baltic amber which houses an inclusion.

Amber inclusions are unfortunate animals, 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 in the ground 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.

GRADE ‘C’: Amber pieces contain good quality inclusions that will require the aid of a magnifying lens to be viewed in great detail.

**We would always suggest using a magnifying aid to view your specimen to truly appreciate the inclusions stunning detail. Amber inclusions can include such specimens as flies, gnats, midges, beetles, wasps, ants, spiders, cockroach’s, seeds, plants & more.

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.

Description

This listing features a 100% genuine Baltic Amber specimen from the Eocene Epoch, dating back approximately 56 to 33.9 million years ago. This beautifully preserved piece of fossilised resin contains one or more fly inclusions, perfectly captured within the translucent amber.

Amber is not tree sap, but rather the hardened resin of ancient coniferous trees. Millions of years ago, sticky resin would occasionally trap insects, plants, or other organic material. Over time, this resin underwent natural polymerisation, transforming first into copal and, after millions of years under pressure and heat, into amber. These rare inclusions offer an incredible, almost cinematic glimpse into prehistoric life.

This specimen comes from the Baltic Sea region, home to some of the richest and most scientifically valuable amber deposits in the world. Insects like flies, gnats, beetles, and spiders are commonly preserved in stunning detail, making these pieces both collectible and educational.

Grade C amber typically includes:

Inclusions that are clear but may require magnification
Partial or smaller fly specimens
Some minor obstructions or cloudy areas around the inclusion

This is an excellent, budget-friendly opportunity to own a true fossil of ancient life. We highly recommend using a magnifying glass or loupe to fully enjoy the fine detail of the trapped organism.

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.
