I have bought a lot of rough from ebay, even found an enhydro. Hard to find the time to polish all of them though!

Great collection i'm fascinated by the Amber you have.

I got a zigrasimecia specimen I think specifically perrichoti for 1.25$ usd. It's probably my luckiest purchase in my collection.

Thanks for making this! I just saw this on a big screen and it was amazing to see all of the details. That spider in the web was beautifull

Hi Jarek, really fun video as usual! Based on my experience collecting amber fossils would like to add some more information: With regard to spider like creatures: In Burmese amber you can find Uropygi whip scorpions as well which are about as rare as the camel spiders you mention. Even more rare in the spider family are the laniatores armoured harvestmen of which only a handful of specimens are known in Burmese amber. Scorpions, whip spiders and whip scorpions in Burmese amber are usually a shedded exoskeleton (exuvia) and not the real creature itself. Honorable mention in Burmite is the extinct lagonome gopide spider which is a hunting spider with eyes on the side of its head. The assassin spiders are indeed much more common in Burmese amber: They are known for having a long 'neck'. Some extinct species in Burmese amber have a 'neck' that extends forward and not upward, ike modern day pelican assassin spiders. Of course an honorable mention in the spider family goes to ticks. These are uncommon in Burmese amber. Engorged ticks however are very rare. Velvet mites are chubby and fossil velvet mites are commonly mistaken for engorged ticks. Honorable mention for the grasshoppers is the extinct elcanidae grasshopper which is uncommon in Burmese amber and has original pigmentation in the wings In my experience: all enhydros in amber eventually dry out. Maybe applying a thin seal of polyurethan resin on the amber piece can slow down the drying, but collectors probably should not buy enhydro's for too high prices! In my opinion in Burmese amber dandelion seed hairs are often mistaken for mammalian hairs. Plant fibers that are hair like are more common in amber than people think. The feathers in Burmese amber mostly belong to Enanthiornithes bird like dinosaurs. When you find two feathers inside a single piece of Burmese amber, there is a really good chance that these are the twin tail feathers of an enanthiornithe. These twin tail feathers seem to have broken off quite easily when coming in contact with the tree resin, which is surprising. A well known pretty five petal flower in Burmese amber is the Tropidogyne pikei which is uncommon and should be affordable for collectors with a low budget. Honorable beetle mention is the Passalopalpidae scarab beetle in Burmese amber which is a great choice for a collector who wants a large beetle for an affordable price. A real mosquito (culicidae) in amber is always rare, but least rare in Dominican amber. If a collector is looking for a fossil blood sucking creature in amber a biting midge Ceratopogonidae in Burmese amber is a really good affordable choice. These can sometimes be found engorged with blood as well! I am looking forward to your holy grail amber fossils video! 😀👍

A nice overview Jarek! I hope you had fun going through your collection to make this video. Its important to look through your collection every now and then in my opinion 😅

Great vid

please make your own amber alcohol! 🙏 brilliant video too

That was really interesting, thanks for the vid! I wonder how many queen ants have been found in amber.

Hi, are pine cones in amber generally rare no matter the size? Or are the big ones considered rare? Also, keep up the good work!

I was lucky enough to have a friend find me an enhydro termite in amber. Might be copal but still a really nice find. Thank you for going over all the information!

Very nicely done and informative video, especially if someone wants to start a collection.... Thank you for the super thanks and kind words and cool that the pictures came in handy. I for one would love to see more parts of such videos. Greetings From The Cave Of Amber ;)

My favorite is the water trapped in the bubble, first time I've seen that. Imagine, that little drop of water, millions and millions of years old..wow. Really enjoyed this video!

Hi

So much weed. Is it just because of storm?

I think that sometimes such damaged or empty ammonites are very valuable because they show the animal's anatomical structure well. The suture line amazed me.

It's so cool that you got to name a species of Cockroach! It's interesting to me that we find a lot of Echinoids and Belemnites here in Norfolk but Amber is rare, yet you have it the other way round there.

They also discovered in Banyalbufar, Mallorca the fossil of the oldest mammal(280 million years old) ever found in the WORLD.

Now the oldest mosquito fossil in the world is the one discovered in Mallorca 247 million years old.

This video scratched an itch I didn't know I had. I loved seeing the unique process you have for finding Amber and I can't believe the size and beauty of the pieces you find! Brilliant video.

Awesome!

Hi, I have bought a brooch on Etsy which is not real amber. How can I prove it definitevely?

It's not fair for science communicaters to have such incredible accents. /j Those are two of my favourite things.

Incroyable découvertes qui ne manque pas d'originalité et tout en couleur, merci pour le partage. Happy new year 2025 !

Amazing

Geras! kur geriausia ieškoti gintaro arba kur daugiausiai radai Smiltynei, Palangoj ar Karklei? be to kokį UV prožektorių naudoji?

great channel!

Lovely little nautilus. Not so common from the callovian/oxfordian

You know, I like the big broken amonite for the snowflake suture line s and the multi colors. So, I could see it displayed standing with a lens in front and maybe a spot light, so you could see the sutures and the colors.

Thanks for sharing your adventures ! Love watching !!! ❤

Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!

Enjoyed that extremely muddy trip Jarek ,you do find some beautiful ammonites in that quarry.Well done on saving that little one and a nice little Nautilus super find ❤

nice🎉

Nice tour 👍 After 40 years collecting fossils, i learned that they havn't to be perfect. Someonce are looking more interesting and beautiful like your peace of the ammonite mould with the rip and praise lines, for me, that was the coolest find 😉🤠 Keep going with this verry nice video-presentations 🤘 Best greedings from Bavaria.

Large complete ammonites seem to still evade you, but it seems you had a nice time anyway, despite all the mud 😂

Wow...great finds. I like that you could get enough prep to see them but still have them contained in the host rock. Really cool to see that. Stay safe and Happy New Year!

The car was absolutely cooked after MUD RIDE

Who won?

why can i scratch off the dull surface of my irregular shaped amber beads with my fingernail?

still so fckn love this vid

These are actual pokemons

Chirrrioo 👍

I'm enjoying your videos the 3. day, and i remember our same enthusiasm and emotions to our fossiltrips, also with camping 🙂, specialy to Eichstätt/Solnhofen y other places en Bavaria, where we come from. Tomorrow we will go to an old lime quarry, lets see what we can find. Wish you good luck for the new fossilyear 😉🤘🍀

A great year - I've enjoyed your videos - especially the jurassic quarries and the iridescent kosmos. All the best for 2025! And hope to see some amber hunting soon!

Thank you for your videos, it's fun and very interesting. I love that you tell us about the names and ages of your finds. And the preps are beautiful Greetings from Germany

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you and your family.

You had a great year, lots of great finds, congratulations! Happy Christmas Jarek 👍

You had a great year, lots of great finds, congratulations! Happy Christmas Jarek 👍

Nice to see our Neighbour-Country-Collectors are a bit in glacial erratics, too! Precious finds, esp. some of the jurassic faunas are shared by the glaciers to our regions, too... The "molluscs in quartzite" at 7:00 seem to be brachiopods in dolomite from the devonian. Similar erratics are rare finds at our baltic shores. Merry cristmas from the Northern-Germany "Geschiebe"collectors. (PS: if you are interested in discussions, determinations or literature about the fossils found in glacial erratics we can get in contact....)

It was a good year, 👍good to all, and happy holiday Merry Christmas🎄🥂Jarek thanks for trips 💪💯
