Three leaves, a root, many Bryophites with 13 insects

This amber may be particularly appealing for those interested in the Kingdom of life, Plantae, since it contains several representatives of Embryophyta, or Bryophytes for short, progeny of some of the oldest plants on Earth. Additionally, it contains 3 beautiful leaves of 20, 10 and 13 mm length, an ostensible root that is 19 mm long. Perhaps the most stunning floral inclusion is a Bryophite that measures some 22 mm. Throw in 13 insects, 2 Alates (the winged, sexual form of termites), a wasp, and the rest Dipterans, and you have one stunning piece of amber. This amber measuring 63 by 32 mm is itself a plant fossil that has captured much of the dynamic interaction of life in an ancient rainforest. A beautiful, and fascinating specimen.

The more you look at this specimen under a loupe, the more facinating it becomes.
