Detailed Fossil Cricket and Soft Millipede In Baltic Amber
This is a nicely detailed 44 million year old fossil cricket (family Gryllidae) with spread legs preserved alongside a soft millipede (order Polyxenidae) within Baltic amber. The length of the cricket is about 12mm including appendages.
As a reminder, most inclusions in Baltic amber are extremely small so magnification will be needed to make out much detail. A physical photo of the specimen is included with your order and we will also email you high resolution digital copies.

Please note: The market is flooded with fake amber, which is often plastics with insects embedded in it. The insect inclusions in amber are almost always tiny. Larger insects are able to struggle free and are not preserved. If you see something that looks too good to be true, it often is. Make sure to buy from a reputable dealer.
