Baltic amber with fly inclusions – eocene fossilised resin – genuine specimen from baltic sea – grade c with certificate

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 fossilised tree resin contains a fly inclusion, remarkably preserved in natural golden amber.

Amber is formed from the fossilisation of tree resin (not sap) secreted by prehistoric trees. As the resin dripped and pooled, it occasionally trapped unsuspecting tiny animals or plant debris. Through a natural process of polymerisation, the resin hardened into copal, and over millions of years transformed under geological pressure into true amber. This exceptional preservation process gives us a unique glimpse into ancient ecosystems.

This specimen originates from the Baltic Sea region, one of the world’s richest and most scientifically significant amber-producing areas. The conditions in this region allowed for remarkable preservation of delicate creatures like flies, offering an incredible window into the insect life of the Eocene.

Grade C amber typically includes:

• Well-preserved inclusions that may be small or partially obscured
• Inclusions that require magnification for optimal viewing

We strongly recommend using a magnifying glass or loupe to appreciate the fine details of the gnat inclusion.

Amber inclusions may include a range of microfauna and flora such as:

• Gnats
• Flies
• Midges
• Beetles
• Wasps
• Spiders
• Ants
• Seeds and plant fragments
