Amber
Amber is the fossil remains of ancient tree resins. As these resins
flowed from the trees they sometimes trapped insects and other small
life forms, preserving them for millions of years.
This 3 cm sample of amber comes from Columbia. It contains some unidentified
spherical inclusions. The spheres appear to be a trapped liquid. Close
inspection suggests they could also be some type of egg with what appears
to be an "embryonic" type of structure inside.
