AmberFossils - Botanicals For Sale with plants and Other Organic Parts (buying fossil amber)

Sale Price	Description of the Specimen
$96	1. Part of a leaf with 3 leaflets. Very unique, seldom see and I cannot ID the tree or shrub that these leaves came from. Also has a midge in it. Impressive piece. You won't see this very often. Scanned Image .
$99	2. This is a very unusual piece of amber. The amber is very clear and has a lovely yellow color. I cannot imagine how vegetable (?) fibers could have dropped or have been engulfed in resin and still maintain their spatial separation. That is, they are not all on one plane, but are very 3-dimensional. Pictures will not show this well, but there is great depth to this tangled 'mess'. Scanned Image .
$38 SOLD	3. This is a beautiful leaf from some plant that grew 24 million years ago. This is about as good as they get. Scanned Image
$109 SOLD	4. Wow, this is a big leaf. the amber is large and only holds the top portion of the leaf. Very impressive though and if you are into botanicals like, you will love this one. Even has a wasp - the scanned image shows this beauty best. Scanned Image.
$99	5. Two leaves and at least a half dozen ambrosia beetle, Coleoptera, Platypodidae. Lots of organic debris to make this interesting. You will spend some time investigating what is here. Scanned Image.
$74	6. Good piece with what looks like a casing from a flower or something similar. Also contains an ant, the head of an ant and a gall midge, Diptera Cecidomyiidae. Scanned Image.
$149	7. The is possibly a curled up stem of leaf. It does appear the the leaf is hairy!! Got me. Also with this beauty is a weevil, Family Histeridae, Super family Curculionoidea. Weevils are very unusual, so with this specimen you get a '2-fer'. Scanned Image!
$86	8. A leaf and an unknown beetle are found in this instant snapshot of 24 million years ago - nice piece Scanned Image
$159 SOLD	9. What a piece of amber. This contains part of a legume leaf. You can see the individual leaflets on this beauty. You do not see botanicals like this very often. The piece is not large, but it is VERY impressive. Scanned Image!
$137	10. Just a great piece. This is a lovely cab shape, clear and perfect for making into a pendant. There is a nice leaf and two stems that look like they are petiole to leaves. This is a good piece. This has an unknown fly, a gnat and also what looks like a moth fly. Scanned Image!
$99	11. Perfectly clear amber - just a beautiful yellow color to it without anything else - except - a leaf. This is really a good piece. Take a look at the scanned image and you will see what I am talking about. Scanned Image!
$83	12. This is going to be hard to believe, but there are about 14 flowers in this piece of amber. It looks a someone just cut off the flowers and dropped them in the resin. It is very unusual to find this many together, one or two is good, more than 10, wow. There is even a beetle(Coleoptera) larvae in here. Scanned Image!
$66	13. If you like flowers, here are 2 legume flowers. Rather a cool piece Scanned Image!
$1,424 SOLD	14. Leaves! There are 3 wonderful leaves in the large piece of amber. I would guess that they are Leguminoseae leaves. Here is the back side of the amber. One of the leaves is curled over, that is why it looks like 4 leaves. This specimen should be in a museum. It is a fine piece of very clear and yellow amber. In fact, I do not think I have ever seen better. I wonder if there is still DNA inside the leaves? Scanned Image!
$119	15. This has a great leaf in it. Almost a pyramid shape (rather a freeform pyramid), the leaf in this specimen is very nice. There is a fungus gnat, Diptera, Mycetophilidae off to the side. Impressive leaf. Scanned Image!
$88	16. Very clear with great color, this piece has a nice leaf and a bunch of female worker ants (a few other things also.) Scanned Image!
$98	17. You want a large leaf I'll give you a large leaf. This is it, large, easy to see and impressive. Scanned Image!
$189	18. Lots of stamens and anthers scattered here. There is also a petiole, a possible sepal, the shed of a spider (cool), a fly and even an isopod. This is like the one above, always something new when you look at it. There is even a possible Hemipteran - although I cannot see it well enough for any type of ID. Also included for your viewing pleasure is a spider with very long legs. Scanned Image!
$129	19. This is a big piece. You will understand it better when you look at the scanned image link below. There is a Hymenaea leaf, part of a dicot leaf, some stems, a wasp and some other stuff. This is really a snapshot of the forest. Scanned Image
