Description
100 Million Year Old Fossil Burmese Amber With Insect Or Plant Inclusions
- Buyer gets all three specimens shown in the photo. Burmese amber is around a hundred million years old and is found in the HUKawng Valley, a 14,000 square kilometer rugged area in Northern Burma (Now known as Myanmar).
- Burmese amber is of significant paleontological interest due to the diversity of flora and fauna contained as inclusions, particularly arthropods including insects and arachnids but also birds, lizards, snakes, frogs and fragmentary dinosaur remains.
- A hundred million years ago the area was a tropical rainforest and because both fresh and salt water species have been found in the amber it is believed that the area was near the coast with rivers moving the tree resin around. Animals, especially insects as well as plant material and leaves get trapped in the tree resin and gets encased in the resin where it turns in amber after millions of years.
- There is a wide variety of inclusions in Burmese Amber (More than 2700 different species are known to be found in Burmese Amber).
- Burmese amber has been mined for more than 2000 years - mostly to be made into jewellery. (317881-379)
