Here is an excellent Spider (Araneae) preserved in Dominican Amber from the Oligocene of Russia. This large nugget of fossilized tree resin has been highly polished on all sides for optimal display. The spider is beautifully preserved and exhibits wonderful detail - the head, body, and long legs of the spider are clearly defined. This is a very fine example of a spider trapped in fossilized tree resin (small close-up photo is included for free).
