This copal resin can be between 10,000 and 200,000 years old.
As it is from Madagascar it is very common to find new extant species of plant, insect and animal.
Copal is tree resin that has not fully polymerized and can therefore not be called amber. Polymerization can take many millions of years but some copal may be only 100 years old, like some Colombian copal which I have seen being sold (wrongly) as amber.
