Baltic amber (40-50 MYO) - spider (Anapidae, Fossilanapis anderseni Wunderlich) Holotypus

Have had the opportunity to visit the Zoological Museum in Copenhagen and photograph some of their pieces from their collection - in the future I will regularly upload these images. All these images are registered with the Zoological Museum registration code (ZMUC-9xxxxx).

Holotypus/Holotype = Taxonomy the single specimen designated as the type of a species by the original author at the time the species name and description was published - the piece is very oxidised so it was very difficult to make these images..

Baltic amber (40-50 MYO) - an extremely rare spider (Dictynidae, Mastigusa modesta Wunderlich) Holotypus

Have had the opportunity to visit the Zoological Museum in Copenhagen and photograph some of their pieces from their collection - in the future I will regularly upload these images. All these images are registered with the Zoological Museum registration code (ZMUC-9xxxxx).
(Holotypus/Holotype = Taxonomy the single specimen designated as the type of a species by the original author at the time the species name and description was published.)

Most spiders in this family build irregular webs close to or directly on the ground. Some species from this family also usually live near the entrance to an ant nest. Typically they create a tangle of silken fibers among several branches or stems of one plant.

Baltic amber (40-50 MYO) - an extremely rare spider (Dictynidae, Mastigusa modesta Wunderlich) Holotypus

Have had the opportunity to visit the Zoological Museum in Copenhagen and photograph some of their pieces from their collection - in the future I will regularly upload these images. All these images are registered with the Zoological Museum registration code (ZMUC-9xxxxx).
(Holotypus/Holotype = Taxonomy the single specimen designated as the type of a species by the original author at the time the species name and description was published.)

Most spiders in this family build irregular webs close to or directly on the ground. Some species from this family also usually live near the entrance to an ant nest. Typically they create a tangle of silken fibers among several branches or stems of one plant.

Box 1/3 - New Jersey (Crossman Clay Pit, Sayreville) Cretaceous (Turonian 90-94 MYO) lignite layer - collection of amber, soil, pyrite, wood pieces and fossil plant material. This area is now closed and turned into a construction site.

Here are some close-ups of the New Jersey amber variations:
- www.flickr.com/photos/amber-inclusions/5271489846/in/set-...
- www.flickr.com/photos/amber-inclusions/5271485052/in/set-...

These three boxes contains my collection of raw New Jersey amber. I use it to get an overview / study of amber surface, its color, its structure and all the different variations. The pieces are roughly sorted by structure (clear, cloudy and mixed). When I get time I will do a complete sort by color and create a similar image composed by many small pictures of each color. Likewise, this collection is good to confirm the authenticity of other NJ pieces - hope these pictures can give you an idea of the different variations found in this amber.

Furthermore, I have also various things that are found in the same layer as the amber - soil, pyrite, wood pieces, fossil plant material and some very mysterious round light "stones". Since Sayreville is an old river area - I have a suspicion that it might be ear stone from fish (found similar stone at the beach). The stones are built of many small layers, all the same shape and color. I'm not sure but I will make a close up - is there anyone who knows about the small "stones"?

If you are interested in reading more about this layer, I highly recommend this paper "Upper Cretaceous Facies, Fossil Plants, Amber, Insects and Dinosaur Bones, Sayreville, New Jersey" by Bruce Cornet, Ph.D. - www.sunstar-solutions.com/sunstar/Sayreville/Kfacies.htm

Data:
Each box-room is 22 x 35 x 38 mm
There are 435.44 grams of raw New Jersey amber (in all different colors), 38.72 grams of pyrite, 402 gram (38 x 380 x 93 mm) soil, 56 gram plant fossils.
The above collection extends constantly - this picture is already outdated.

Baltic amber (40-50 MYO) - extremely rare male wedge-shaped beetle (Rhipiphoridae), body about 5 mm

Baltic amber - extremely rare! male wedge-shaped beetle (Rhipiphoridae), body about 5 mm.

They are one of the most unusual beetle families, in that they are parasitoids - different groups within the family attack different hosts, but most are associated with bees or vespid wasps, while some others are associated with roaches. They often have abbreviated elytra, and branched antennae.
Those that attack bees typically lay their eggs on flowers, where they hatch almost immediately into small planidium larvae that wait for a passing host. They grab onto a bee when it visits the flower, and ride it back to its nest, where they disembark and enter a cell with a host larva. The beetle larva then enters the body of the host larva, where it waits while the larva grows. When the host pupates, the beetle larva migrates to the outside of its body and begins to feed, eventually consuming it. (wikipedia)

Dominican amber (20-30 MYO) - extremely rare male wedge-shaped beetle (Rhipiphoridae), body about 3 mm

Dominican amber - extremely rare male wedge-shaped beetle (Rhipiphoridae).
In my defense, I will just tell that Rhipiphoridae number 2 was already cut when I got the piece - but amazing that this piece has contained two of these extremely rare beetles.
