Price realised:

Beschreibung:

Indeterminate species Cretaceous Myanmar One of the most rare and desirable of creatures in amber is the lizard. Most animals, including lizards, are too large to be trapped in the small amounts of tree resin exuded by coniferous trees millions of years ago. Burmite is 100-million-year-old amber that is found in the Hukawng Valley of Myanmar. The present remarkable partial lizard specimen, exhibiting a five-clawed foot, displays visible bones within mummified skin on the leg and foot. Offered in an 8 x 6-inch Riker mount with a photo of the lizard foot and leg. Lizard specimen measuring 12 millimeters; Amber nugget measuring 13 x 11 millimeters
