Napoleon North Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 My name is Daniel. I am with my Polish, I would like to ask what is the animal's hair? I collect fossils from five years and now I intend to collect inclusions in amber. Is the hair could belong to a rodent? http://eocen.blog.onet.pl/1,CT114993,index.html This is one of my two blogs.

Auspex Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 With high-powered microscopy, an expert might be able to determine the family, but it would be terribly expensive. I have a feather in Dominican amber that I would like to know more about.

PaleoRon Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 It could be some type of hair, but also plant or algae fibers or even spider or insect silk. You need to get it under a really good microscope to see the structure better. One section of the strand has darker "dots" that look similar to algae nuclei.

Napoleon North Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 This surely is the hair, because I got it from the expert who collects inclusions in Baltic amber for 18 years. Here's the page http://www.amberabg.com/index.html. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
