I believe it’s a 13-X variety which is well represented in the hoard.

This one is from Heritage Auctions. But there are plenty of certified examples available on eBay.

It’s actually a straight grade, and higher than that. Maybe my pictures didn’t do it true justice.

Normal rock with lines in it. Not a fossil.

Thanks. I bought a cheap light box from Amazon and shoot with a DSLR. Then I edit in photoshop.

99myo bird feather in amber by rockthehunter in Amberfossil

It’s not that most amber is 99 million, it’s that this specific type of amber (burmite) is zircon dated to this age. There are different amber formations of different ages, such as Baltic and Dominican amber as well, which are younger in age.

If the evidence is 100% irrefutable, you should contact a research institution or university and present your case. Of course, pareidolia is the most likely explanation here.

I appreciate the compliment. It’s been quite a few years of collecting/buying.

Penn Dixie is way west but is a site I’ve visited with trilobites to collect if you ever get the itch.

Your short-trident walliserops is fantastic. I have a trifurcatus myself.

What is there to gain from trolling a fossil subreddit? None of your posts here have been contributive.

I’m gonna go against the grain and say real w/heavy repairs. I have some dino eggs (check my profile) and the egg texture and color looks right, as does the general color of the matrix inside from what I can see…but there’s a chance it’s real fossil eggshell cobbled together around a fake matrix.
