Acacia Plant in Amber

This amber contains the complete stem and leaflets of an acacia plant, a momosoid. The American Museum of Natural History owns this beautiful piece of Dominican amber. You too can visit this and thousands of other pieces on display and lovingly tended by Dr. David Grimaldi and his staff. Spring is a great time to plan a trip to New York, don't you think?
