Here is a very rare inclusion in amber. This is a Fossil Flower from the Oligocene Amber Mines of the Dominican Republic. Plants, especially flowers, are rare occurrences in amber - they had to fall in or be blown into the amber, whereas insects could crawl or fly into the sap. This specimen has great detail. The individual petals are quite distinct, and the stem or petiole of the flower is intact. The large flower is easily seen trapped within the polished piece of fossilized tree resin. This is a wonderful example of an extremely scarce flower entombed in Domincan Amber (small close-up photo included for free).
