Amber from the prehistoric time

Amber from Burma (Myanmar) tells a completely different story – much older, dating back almost 100 million years. The inclusions there are spectacular and almost "fairytale": in addition to insects, there are spiders with webs, lizards, dinosaur feathers, and even fragments of ancient reptile wings. This is amber from a time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and forests looked completely different than they do today.
