This Colombian copal with flower and termite inclusion preserves botanical material alongside a termite within subfossil Colombian copal. The flower and termite preserved together provide a record of plant and insect life from a relatively recent tropical forest environment. Unlike true fossil amber, Colombian copal is younger, partially fossilized natural material, generally less than 1 million years old.
