Products description
| In this Burmese amber are two inclusions from the cretaceous age of Myanmar. On the one hand, the piece shows a fossil ant of the Gerontoformica genus together with a small beetle. The fossil ant could be the species Gerontoformica orientalis (Engel & Grimaldi, 2005). For a more precise determination, the amber would have to be ground even further. Multbile insects in one piece of amber are not that unusual in Myanmar. | |||
