Description of the Specimen
$162
55. This cab has a scuttle fly, Diptera, Phoridae and a pseudoscorpion, Pseudoscorpionida, on the side of the amber. While pseudoscorpions resemble scorpions they are much smaller and do not have the stinger off the abdomen. Pseudoscorpions are very rare in amber.
Scanned Image!
$24
56. Good cab shape, interesting insides, this has a single fungus gnat, Diptera, Mycetophilidae flying through the middle - in such a way that it is difficult to photograph the animal.
Scanned Image!
$385
57. Big - 58.6 grams. This really has a lot inside. There is a lot of organic debris from the forest floor. There are also a number of crane flies and many, many crane fly legs. Each time I look, I see something else. There are beetles and even a flower (a nice one at that.)
Scanned Image!
$39
58. Good clear piece with a gnat, Diptera. It is a rather clear piece that also contains a small female worker ant, Hymenoptera, Formicidae and a tropical stingless bee (small and hard to see)
Scanned Image
$288
59. This is a flat and thin piece of amber. The Pseudoscorpion is a fairly good sized, that is it can be seen without a microscope (albeit small.) If you know your Pseudoscorpions, this should be easy to ID. There are regular and numerous extensions from the body (see image) that are very telling. Scanned Image!
$238
60. Have you been looking for an impressive ant? This is it, Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Camponotus. It is not a winged male. The ant is large and easy to see (about 1/2 inch long.) The amber is a beautiful yellow color and exceptionally clear. This is a quality specimen. You will enjoy the pictures.
Scanned Image!
$46
61. An ant like leaf beetle, Euglenidae in a nice piece of Dominican amber. There is some surface glazing, but the animal is perfect.
Scanned Image!
$118

 

 

 62. A lot of stuff is here. There is a great fly, pretty good sized where you can see hairs. There is a gnat, and some other small midges also an ant. The big thing here is a millipede. A large millipede. Now it is hazed by some air bubbles and 1/4 of the animal is cut off, but this is a very good specimen - rare. You do not normally find millipedes in amber. The very corner of the piece is not polished.
Scanned Image!
$639
63. Amber will drip from trees in a stalactite fashion. Here is one big section of an amber stalactite. Beautifully clear inside and rough on the outside. You do not see them like this very often. This will be a crown in someone's collection.
Scanned Image!
$128
64. Couple parts to this piece. First there is a beautiful planthopper, Homoptera, Fulgoroidea, part of what appears to be a rolled leaf and finally this even has a caddis fly, Trichoptera. Good piece for a collection.
Scanned Image!
$74
65. This is great. The air bubble in this amber reminds me of a klein bottle. It is VERY unique. The amber is good sized and very clear. Quite an addition for anyone's collection.
Scanned Image!
$57
SOLD
66. A number of different animals in this amber. There is a crane fly, Tipulidae, a sand fly, Diptera, Psychodidae and a worker ant, female, sterile, Hymenoptera, Formicidae.
Scanned Image
$222
67. Nice piece with a large Pseudoscorpion. There is a lot or organic debris in the piece. Easily identifiable are piece of wood that appear to have been chewed. The Pseudoscorpion is easy to see. You'll like this one.

68. 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!
$192
69. Like number 68 above, this is a great piece to make into a pendant. Good color, shape and this even has a scad of worker termites. There is even something that looks like a mammalian hair (doubtful though). This has the shape and the insects.
Scanned Image!
$258
70. Nice shape with lots of interesting things inside. The animal here is a winged male ant, Hymenoptera, Dolicoderinae, Azteca. It also has a horse shoe crab beetle in it.
Scanned Image!
$151

71. This one is rare. There are a pair of mating black scavenger flies, Diptera, Scatopsidae. Just think these two have been mating for the past 24 million years. This is a very unusual and rare find. The outside of the amber has surface cracks which can be polished away to make a beautiful specimen. This has a very good price on it.


Scanned Image!

$49
72. Family Carabidae, ground beetles are not good flyers, but are good runners. Note the long thorax and the elytra with brilliant colors. This piece has some surface glazing which does not detract from the impressive beetle.
Scanned Image!
$89
73. Long piece with a smallish cricket and a flower beetle, Coleoptera. Nice pictures - great price.
Scanned Image!
$41
74. Cool piece of amber, nice size, shape and color. It has a very small spder and midge - and nothing else. Good price.
Scanned Image!
$62
75. Reasonably good size piece of amber with a lot inside. There are legs from a crane fly scattered all throughout the piece. The legless crane fly body is there also. At one end is part of a plant - don't know which part though. Many 24 million year old air bubbles. Just a good piece to look at.
Scanned Image!
$26
76. A small piece of amber with a bushy vegetation piece. We do not know if it is a seed or part of a plant. It is neat though.
Scanned Image!
$59

77 Flat piece with some material that reminds me of a leaf (not a leaf though.) The biggie with this is that there is a mite off on one side. Really cool, you just do not see these very often. And this piece is priced to sell.
Scanned Image!

$29

78. Not sure on this beauty. It looks like there is an undeveloped bee win this amber. I just cannot call it.
Scanned Image!

$38
SOLD
79. This has a beetle in it. I am just not sure what type. At first I thought it might be a lightning bug, but I feel it is too small a beetle for that. I am just not sure. It also has a thrip.
Scanned Image!
$264
SOLD
80. This is a museum piece. It contains a good sized earwig, Dermaptera. Earwigs are rare in amber, which is surprising considering they are commonly found in cracks in the bark of trees today. They are not often seen. In particular, this one is presented beautifully. It is as nice as you can get (and rare).
Scanned Image!
$63
SOLD
81 Darkish piece with a red tinge to it. This piece is good sized and contains 4 crane flies, Tuplidae. They are not in perfect shape, some having a ring of fungus around them. But I must admit, I have never seen 4 crane flies together in amber. Of course there are gnats and a fly or two.
Scanned Image!
$49
82. This has a small planthopper, Homoptera in it. The beauty of this is that you can actually see part of the brush tail and the waxy filaments coming from the posterior section - a rather rare occurrence. There are also some nice air bubbles.
Scanned Image!
$247
SOLD
83. A particularly fine and impressive specimen. This has a millipede, Diplopoda, Polydesmida and a bristletail, Thysanura, subclass Apterygota. The bristletails are characterized by three very on tails and long slender antennae. The body is somewhat shrimplike. This is probably the direct ancestor of winged insects. There are some other animals, an immature planthopper and what looks like some hemipterans.

Scanned Image!

$193
84. Boy I hate putting amber up for sale when I do not know what is inside. This has a very large animal, much greater than .5 inches. My best guess (and this is a guess) is that this is a winged fulgoromorph, Auchenorrhyncha.
Scanned Image!
$26
85. Cab shape amber with a cylindrical bark beetle, Coleoptera, Colydidae. The amber must be viewed from the side to see the beetle.
Scanned Image!
$44
86. Good things come in small packages, this is not large, but it does contain about 8 female worker ants, Hymenoptera, Formicidae, who all died at the same time - rather cool to see.
Scanned Image!
$44
87. Many ancient air bubbles surround this 24 million year old millipede, family Siphonophoridae. Interesting piece.
Scanned Image
$24

88. I love the shape of this piece of amber. It has a small midge, Diptera, Chironomidae and the remains of another unknown animal.

Scanned Image!

$47
89. I love how clear this piece is - and inside is a good sized worker termite that is inflated with air. Just plain fun to look at. There are some neat looking coprolites also.
Scanned Image!
$22
90. Female worker ants - one complete and one head, Hymenoptera, Formicidae, a beetle larvae, and some unknowns.
Scanned Image!
$126
91. This is a small and flat piece of amber with the Pseudoscorpion on the edge, which makes it difficult to photograph well. The are numerous surface glazing, but the animal is good.
Scanned Image!
$83
92. If you know what an Isopod is, you will want this piece. This, clear with a very nice Isopod. There is also a very small beetle larvae.
Scanned Image!
$203
SOLD
93. 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.
Scanned Image
$32
94. Unusual specimen. It has many bugs, but none that we can ID. The one of interest is the one near the edge which reminds me of a squid.
Scanned Image!
$29
95. Here is a small piece of amber that has a lot of class. There are what appears to be termite wings in this amber. There is also a beetle here.
Scanned Image!
$26
Platypodidae Beetle96. Lovely platypodid beetle, Coleoptera, Platypodidae. Easily seen in this piece of Dominican amber. Hard to wrong with this piece. The price is very good for this piece.
Scanned Image!
$98
97. An immature Orthropteran and believe it or not - A MITE! The mite is rather large. There is also an unknown Diptera.
Scanned Image!
$51
98. Here is lovely piece of Dominican amber with 3 tropical stingless bees, Hymenoptera, family Meliponini, genus Proplebeia.
Scanned Image!
$229
99. I love this one. It is a death assembly of scuttle flies, Cyclorrapha:Phoridae. It looks like every brother and sister followed the leader into the death trap of the sticky resin and became immortalized 24 million years ago.

Scanned Image!

$39
100. One or two worker termites, Isoptera, along with 1/2 body of a tropical stingless bee and 1 fly. Good clarity and color - great price.

Scanned Image!

$17
101. Not 100% sure, but I think this is a wingless termite. Interesting animal.
Scanned Image!
$31
102. Busy piece with a spider and on the other side is the body of a beetle.
Scanned Image!
$42
103. A nice cab, flat on the bottom with a nice dome shape. There is a nice planthopper, Homoptera, superfamily Fulgoroidea and few deformed air bubbles.
Scanned Image!
$33
104. This is a barklouse, Pocoptera, possibly in the family Caeciliidae (although I am not 100% certain on that). Nice set of wings and a clear piece of amber.
