fossil amber with very rare SymphylanThis amber specimen contains a very rare Symphylan, measuring 10 mm. Symphylans are one of the four subclasses of Myriapoda and are the siteless and lowly cousins of centipedes. This is the only one I have ever discovered in order among thousands of pieces. Other inclusions are a spider and 7 insects, including a extremely well-preserved Alate, or flying termite, a stingless bee, and very large Dipteran.
