Re: Fossils
In Denmark I have seen lots of amber with insects caught inside; also in Saint Petersburg

Can we keep on topic please. Carpet gets cleaned regularly.
Thanks Flutts
You have to be very careful with Amber with inclusions. Only buy from a reputable seller.
There are a lot of fakes offered for sale.
