Today I bought this amber with flies in it, including one Dolichopodidae. I think it is baltic amber. Is it possible to determine its genus? Best Regards, Ana Gonçalves AnaGoncalves attached the following image:  [48.45Kb] Edited by AnaGoncalves on 02-12-2013 01:00 |

I would advise showing it to an amber expert because there is a whole industry of making 'fakes' from copal or resin.
