Name:
Beetle (Coleoptera)
Age: Eocene
Formation: Amber Deposits
Location: Baltic Coast, Russia
Size: Amber piece is 0.8 inch long
This is an excellent fossil beetle. It is similar to a modern Potato Beetle (Coleoptera) that was trapped in Russian Amber. This beetle has great detail on the wing coverings - you can even see the surface reticulation detail and color variations! The beetle is nicely centered and easily seen trapped in the piece of amber. This is a fine specimen of a Beetle entombed in Baltic Amber (large close-up photo is included for free).
