I have several pieces of polished Baltic amber that contain a mosquito and an ant. Their preservation is perfect. Looking at them through a stereo (3D) microscope, I can see no obvious differences from modern specimens. They cause me to wonder how old that amber really is.

"I have several pieces of polished Baltic amber that contain a mosquito and an ant....They cause me to wonder how old that amber really is." I have some plastic ice cubes that contain a housefly. I bought them at Spencer gifts when I was in high school so I know they're over 20 years old.
