Subject: Bizarre ancient fly found in amber From: Stu posted Wed, Oct 28 2009, 4:29pm  Ancient 'unicorn' fly had 3 eyes on its horn Subject: Re: Bizarre ancient fly found in amber From: /PJ posted Thu, Oct 29 2009, 12:55pm  That is extremely interesting! How much you wanna bet that more "jurasic park" type questions will be asked? It seems every time someone finds a beastie in amber, someone, somewhere thinks "can we clone it?" On a side note: I have a few small pieces of amber that have moss inside them. Not a bug, but still cool to look at.

Here's a Green Man pendant carved out of mammoth ivory, set in 9k gold, I found in a little Yorkshire ales village shop a few months ago. Beautiful, & worth it at £180, but, alas, my bank balance just wasn't up to it.

I still haven't unpacked them from the move, because I rarely wear jewlery. I also have a "fake amber" bracelet with moss in it from my granny (It was all the rage many moons ago). It's made with epoxy IIRC. Subject: Re: Bizarre ancient fly found in amber From: Entity posted Fri, Oct 30 2009, 11:46am  Now that's my kind of fly! Wonder if we will ever find some of it's relatives.
