Fossilised insect. Light micrograph of an insect,related to a mosquito,seen in amber. Amber is the fossilised resin from coniferous trees of the Middle Tertiary period about 40 million years ago. The amber is often washed ashore on the Baltic coast with plant and animal specimens preserved in it; many extinct species have been found in this way. It ranges in colour from red to yellow.
