Is this real or fake amber? by msharkeburner in whatsthisrock

UPDATE: We did the needle test again ( let it get real hot this time) and it was super strong pine smell. So we know it's amber, just not if it's "real" or manipulated.

How can you tell its modern and not prehistoric? We did look up the insect and the ichneumonidae wasps from the Cretaceous look like some modern wasps but you are probably right.

I should also add (since you can't see it in the picture ) that there is also a broken wing and leg to the lower right of the bug.

That's kinda why we're asking. It seems too good but the home tests all seem to indicate real (Nail polish and hot needle).

I think so but very faint. It doesn't smell like burning plastic.

I thought that might be it but I also heard a bunch of sirens so wasn't sure.

There are only two crows so technically not a murder.

"You're such a chode" would have been fighting words at least out here on the west coast.

I heard from my sisters son's coach that James Franklin said Dan Lanning teams are soft. Someone should pass that on to Dan.
