Detailed Fossil Spider, Two Springtails And A Mite In Baltic Amber

This 44 million year old piece of baltic amber contains three preserved fossil insects. A spider about 5mm across, two springtails and a rare mite. The springtails and mite are best observed through microscope and in the included picture.

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.
