This is a very nice arachnid in amber. It is a Parasitic Mite (Acari) from the Oligocene Amber Mines of the Dominican Republic. This specimen has great detail - the long appendages are very easily seen. The Mite is nicely centered in the honey-colored amber piece. This is a very interesting organism fossilized in Baltic Amber (close-up photo is included for free).
