Nematocera: (Thread-Horn). Burmese Amber with Genuine Fossil Inclusion.

The amber has been expertly polished to reveal the intricate details of the delicate insect trapped within — from its fine, thread-like antennae to its gossamer wings, frozen in time since the age of the dinosaurs. The insect can be made with the naked eye- not just zoomed on a camera, making this an incredible specimen. 

Measuring approximately 1.2 × 0.7 cm, this is a captivating microfossil specimen — small in size yet immense in historical and scientific significance. A beautiful piece for fossil collectors, natural history enthusiasts, or anyone fascinated by life’s ancient story captured in amber.
