Amber Capsule Dr Andrew Ross Fossil Fossilised Glowing Lebanese Resin Ross Rough
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning piece of Lebanese amber, captured in this photograph, is a captivating testament to the wonders of nature and the passage of time. Amber, a fossilized tree resin, forms when resin from a tree flows out and coats an object, preserving it in a protective, glowing casing. This particular amber specimen hails from the Lower Cretaceous period, approximately 120 million years ago, in what is now Lebanon. The orange hue of the amber is a result of the unique chemical composition of the resin that formed it. The rough, capsule-like shape of the amber reveals the intricacies of the ancient tree from which it originated. The amber's rough surface, with its tiny air bubbles and inclusions, adds to its allure, as it offers a glimpse into the world that existed during the Mesozoic Era. Dr. Andrew Ross, a renowned paleontologist, carefully examines this precious piece of history, his face illuminated by the warm, glowing light emanating from the amber. The amber's timeworn beauty and the knowledge it holds are a reminder of the rich history that lies hidden within the Earth. The amber's ability to preserve organisms and plant material from long ago provides invaluable insights into the Earth's past, offering a window into ancient ecosystems and the evolution of life on our planet. This photograph serves as a reminder of the awe-inspiring power of nature and the importance of preserving our natural heritage for future generations to marvel at and learn from.
