Name:
Winged Termite (Isoptera)
Age: Oligocene
Formation: Amber Mines
Location: Dominican Republic
Size: Amber piece is over 0.5 inches long
This is a very nice example of a fossil termite in amber. It is a large Winged Termite (Isoptera) entombed in Dominican Amber. This specimen has great detail, especially on the head and body. But the real prize is the wings, which are extremely well preserved. The termite is easily seen trapped in the large, cognac-colored amber piece. This is a very fine Winged Termite trapped in fossil ''ooze'' (small close-up photo is included for free).
