Poster Print : Fly fossilised in amber
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Fly fossilised in amber
Fly fossilised in amber. Amber is a fossilised resin that was produced by various now extinct coniferous trees during the Jurassic period. The sticky resin trapped small insects as it solidified and hardened, preserving their bodies for millions of years. This is one of the few processes by which fossils are preserved complete with all of their soft tissues

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of natural history - a fly fossilised in amber. Amber, which originated from ancient coniferous trees during the Jurassic period, is an exquisite semi-precious stone formed from fossilised resin. In this particular case, the sticky resin acted as a time capsule, ensnaring small insects and perfectly preserving their bodies for millions of years. The significance of this process cannot be overstated; it allows us to witness these prehistoric creatures in all their glory, complete with their delicate soft tissues intact. This rare phenomenon offers invaluable insights into the world that existed long before our own. The vibrant orange hue of the amber adds an element of visual allure to this historical specimen. It serves as a testament to nature's artistic prowess and reminds us that even something as simple as tree sap can become an extraordinary work of art over time. As we gaze upon this single fly trapped within its golden prison, we are transported back through countless ages. We contemplate the wonders of biology and marvel at how life has evolved throughout Earth's history. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also ignites our curiosity about the mysteries hidden within rocks and fossils. It stands as a testament to both scientific exploration and appreciation for our planet's rich past.
