1. Here is a beautiful piece of amber with a perfect millipede, Polydesmida. You can see the details on this animal very well. If you just want a great example of a millipede, this is it.

$152
2. Here is a large chunk of amber. It has got a lot inside this baby. Plants parts, animals sewn around, even has a mite and some eggs, probably form an insect. There is a planthopper, Homoptera, Fulgoridea and of course the millipede. There is a nice barklouse, Psocoptera, near the middle. There are a number of unknowns also.

3. Smaller piece, but very clear and great color to this amber. There is a nice millipede, Polydesmida near the middle

4. This is quite the piece. There is a complete millipede and a lot more. Looks like a fungus gnat was caught in the act of laying eggs (unusual.) There is at least one fly with some fungus gnat on it's back and one beetle. This is a very nice piece with quality inclusions.

5. This is one that you will fall in love with. It has a nice example of a "common millipede" Polydesmida and a lot more. Everywhere you look, you will find something. There is a large crane fly with many legs, Diptera, Tipulidae, a slew of female worker ants and midges. There is also a spider. This is just good - what I call the 'wow' piece.

6. Large hunk of amber with a stem going through the middle (cool). There is what looks like a beetle larvae (not a millipede.) Also has another beetle larvae a wasp and a biting midge, Ceratopogonidae. There are so many fungus gnats, I cannot count them, Diptera, Mycetophilidae. Also 2 long legged files, Dolichopodidae and much more. This is really a hoot to look at.

7. This one I am not sure about. While it does appear to have segmentation similar to larvae, it also looks like it has pincers in the abdomen - I do not think it is a mayfly and I suspect it is not a larva, I just do not know. The amber is very large, roundish and very clear. This is a very nice specimen! Scanned Image
$49
8. Flat, pendant shape to this amber. There is a large beetle larvae (I think it is a beetle larvae.) Interesting piece of amber.

9. Interesting piece of amber. Good sized with two large wasps, Hymenoptera. Off to one side is what looks like a larva that is twisted at a 90 degree angle. It almost looks juicy! Small but very nice larva.

10. A very small but perfect piece with a nice larva of a beetle - looks like a mealy bug larvae to me (I am sure it is not)! You can't go wrong on this one.

11. Great piece. Nice shape, with lots of organic debris which adds character. This has a very large millipede, Polysdemida near the middle. In fact, this one looks like it could have soft parts to the body. It is a very, very nice piece.

12. This has a great shape to it and it is very clear. All in all, one heck of a piece. You will enjoy looking at the coprolites and beetle larvae.

13. Every once in a while you run across specimens that just have "the spark". This one does. There are 4 beetle larvae swimming in a sea of crystal bubbles The amber is clear and the bubbles have a crispness that is seldom seen (really). I wish I could tell what type of beetle larvae they are, but I just cannot. You will enjoy looking at these pictures. Scanned Image!

SOLD
14. Centipedes are NOT common in amber, much less Dominican amber. But here is a beauty. The antennae are very thick on this guy. There are a few amber glazing surface cracks on the side away from the centipede. This is a rare piece, at a GREAT price. You just do not see these very often. The piece is loaded with other life (mainly Dipterans) Scanned Image!
$91
15. Wow, here is a millipede (large one at that) that shows very well. There are also some 24 million year old air bubbles scattered throughout the piece. Nice piece.

16. This is a very small (15 mm in length) millipede. This one though has too many legs! I cannot ID it. Possibly this is a new genus of millipede - for anyone out there knowing their archaic millipedes. This one might be named by you (I would love to have my name in the species.............If so, I will refund your money) Scanned Image

17. Millipede: Order Polyxenida, Class Diplopoda, Polyxenidae! This specimen is as nice as they get. Perfectly clear yellow amber and easy to see. You can see each segment along with the hairs. This specimen is priced very well! This is a magnificent piece of amber with the specimen easily seen. . Scanned Image!

23. This is the third one!
Millipede: Order Polyxenida, Class Diplopoda, Polyxenidae! This specimen is also as nice as they get. Very clear yellow amber and also easy to see. You can see each segment along with the hairs.I realize that it is hard to believe two of them are right here, but it is true! There is a leaflet to boot. On the under side of this leaflet, it appears that there is some sort of 'scale' on it - at least that it was it looks like. Scanned Image!

$88
24. Super clear yellow amber with 1 small beetle larvae and 2 gnats (Diptera). The larvae and gnats (one male and one female) are along an 'amber plane' right near the middle. The amber plane was made by a second resin flow over the animals. There is also a small fly, Diptera on the other side. This is a very nice piece. Take a look at the scan -- Scanned Image
$135

25. This is a beautiful millipede. The amber is a wonderfully clear yellow and the millipede is visible near one side. This really is s superb piece.

26. Large piece of amber with lines through out the piece. The is a large curled millipede in this piece. Also included is a small wasp and some type of fly. The millipede is on the side and does not scan well. It is a good millipede though! the antennae are rather thick and large on this guy.

SOLD

27. Here is a millipede that appears to have "walked" through a spider web (trailing behind it). At the anterior portion is either another part of a spider web or a fungal attachment. I am not sure on this. It is cool looking though! There is also a mite off to the side!
Scanned Image!

$53

28. Almost square piece of amber that is cloudy on one side. There is a nice millipede and contains about 3/4 of the body. Very interesting segmentation to it! On the cloudy side is what looks like 2 fractions of other millipedes.
