Answer:
fine details such as the wings, legs and other fragile structures are preserved effectively giving us a window into how the preserved organism would have appeared in life. without the presence of amber, we wouldn't be able to examine a majority of small prehistoric organisms.
Explanation: amber is able to preserve a snapshot of the ancient world in ways that other forms of fossilization simple fails to do. while an imprint of a feather could be preserved in rock the actual feather could be captured within amber. Amber also preserves small organisms that otherwise would have been lost to time such as the insects seen in the photo above. And much like the gecko seen below it can show us how these organisms truly appeared in life.
