This is a very rare and unusual animal in Dominican Amber. It is a spectacular Spiny Millipede (Diplopoda, Polyxenidae) of the type Polyxenus sp. Millipedes were slowly-moving insects and were rarely trapped in amber - usually, they are poorly fossilized. This beautiful specimen has extremely fine detail preserved - note the very fine bristles preserved on both sides of the Millipede. The bizzarre insect is EASILY seen trapped within the large, colorful amber piece. This is a very displayable and collectible organism entombed in Amber (small close-up photo is even included!).
