Amber Listserv / Leaf?

[TOM BUCKLEY]

Tammi,

    A dendrite is a branched form of mineral structure which can resemble a tree or a fern, or ... a leaf. I've never run into dendrites in amber before. Most that I've seen look just like fossilized ferns in a stone matrix. Very deceiving.

  I don't know, I'm thinking it resembles a wing of something I've seen.  I'll do some looking in my books to see if anything looks familiar.  

  By the way Doug, dendritic refers to trees doesn't it?  Ain't that botanical?

  Tom,

  I would agree with you that the irregular pattern indicates that it is not botanical, probably dendritic in origin.

    Hi. Is this a leaf? It was found in a piece of Baltic. Something about it just doesn't look right. Perhaps it's the irregular cell structure. Aren't plant cells more uniform? Any guesses or comments are always welcome. Thanks.
