Detailed Fossil Flies, Ant & Spider In Baltic Amber

This is an amazingly detailed, 44 million year old cluster of roughly 10 flies (order Diptera), an enrolled ant (family Formicidae) and a spider (order Aranea), preserved in Baltic Amber. There also looks to be a mite mixed in with this variety of insects, however the photo isn't detailed enough to come to a solid conclusion.

As a reminder, most inclusions in baltic amber are extremely small so magnification will be needed to make out much detail. Included with your order is a physical photo of the specimen, and we will also email you a high resolution digital copy.

Please note: The market is flooded with fake amber, which is often plastics with insects embedded in it. The insect inclusions in amber are almost always tiny. Larger insects are able to struggle free and are not preserved. If you see something that looks too good to be true, it often is. Make sure to buy from a reputable dealer.
