Dominican amber is a fossil resin of plant origin that comes from the legume Hymenaea protera, dated between 25 and 40 million years ago.

Dominican amber differs from Baltic amber by being more transparent, and by having a greater number of fossil remains.

This piece contains a millipede (class Diplopoda) belonging to the subphylum Myriapoda. Millipedes are characterized by having two pairs of articulated legs in most of their body segments, unlike centipedes which have one pair of legs.
