Amber Listserv / Rare 'Exclusion' 'in' Dominican amber

[Mark Collins]

Hi Group,

Here is a piece of DR amber I bought recently. However I was wondering if anyone else has come across anything this?

The specimen contains both external imprints of leaves as well as internal leaf matter of the same leaves. The excluded leaf imprints are remarkably well preserved considering they would have been exposed to the elements and all kinds of geological pressures. Personally I've never come across an 'exclusion' like this before - so I was just wondering has anyone else seen anything similar?

Best regards,

Mark
