Re: Amber Inclusion Treehopper (Homoptera Membracidae)

I try to shape the amber piece to present the inclusion on a as ideal position as possible. The focus here is not not to have a piece as thin as possible but yes to have the inclusion highly...

Re: Amber Inclusion Treehopper (Homoptera Membracidae)

Dominican amber is less known than Baltic one but is by far clearer with a wide variety of very interesting specimen...

Re: Amber Inclusions Scorpion & Spider Fighting Forever...LOL
I looked up the Dominican amber deposits. They tend to be around 25 million years old. It was my privilege, many years ago, to sort through a large number of insects in amber that dated back to the Cretaceous (so over 65 million years ago). Although nothing as rare as this, it was still incredible ...

Re: Amber Inclusions Scorpion & Spider Fighting Forever...LOL
i pick the specimens directly with miners Wow, what luck you have! That is a great privilege. It must be tremendously exciting to be the first to see them (after the miners). Indeed...specially because most of the time beside main "big" inclusion we can find super interesting tiny ones :smt007
