Amber Listserv / Strange inclusion in Chiapan amber?

[Tom Buckley]

Adam ,

    Here's my .02 worth. They certainly look like an egg - within - an - egg or.....an embryo within an egg sac. There certainly appears to be something inside that has appendages. 

    Enhydros with debris? I don't think so. I've seen lots of enhydros and none contained any debris.

    What you need is the opinion of an entomologist with expertise in eggs.

    How about applying a little warmth and see what hatches ?  ; )

  Hi all,

  Would welcome comment on this--looks like a string of enydros, but then it looks like there might be organisms inside the bubbles.  Also, if you look closely, the bubbles seem to be connected by a thin filament between each of them.  Weird.  

  Thanks.
