    Right, they're all up on Facebook now (link in Sig- all fossil album are public Very Happy ), I'll post them up here later today.. Only slight problem is that facebook doesn't work on my laptop anymore for soem stupid reason, and the uni computers won't allow me to open images in new tabs so I can't hotlink them... And I cba to upload 46 pictures to servimg one at a time.. I'll upload the best ones later if facebook keeps being stupid...

    Edit: I posted a couple on another forum yesterday so I can copy the html from that...

    Finally, the Uni. computer suite is open again so I can start posting some stuff! (My laptop is still having problems with Facebook, and I can't be bothered with uploading 200 images one at a time to an image hosting site (I need to find one that allows the upload of more than one image..)).
    So, here's the fist load of images, the flies & gnats;

    And finally, the spiders!
    (The first 3 are of the same specimen, as are 4 and 5, 6 and 7, 12 and 13, 14 and 15).

    If you wish to know whether a specimen is from Baltic amber or Madagascan copal, just ask thumbsup.
    The white coating on some specimens is from liquids and gasses inside the arthropods which leak out after they were fully coated in the sap.

    There is also this:, which was in one of my two pieces of Dominican amber (the other has no inclusions)

    My Amber.. Take Two! - Page 2 196030_453809947964476_2001651162_n

    Both pictures ore of the same specimen (one above the other, from the same side), but I don't know what it is.. It's approx. 3-4mm long. Only thing I can think of at the moment is that it could be plant remains.
