Amber is petrified tree resin (not sap, resin is muchthicker). It forms when trees secrete resin, and the resin is quickly washedaway by water and deposited in a lake where it is covered by sediment (if theresin isn’t washed away it decomposes or gets eaten). Along the way, smallparticles of dust, bits of plant material, and even small animals like insectsand lizards can become trapped in the resin which hardens and preserveswhatever is trapped within (aka inclusions). Myanmar amber, also known asBurmite, is world renowned gem quality amber known for excellent inclusions ofinsects, plants, and even small vertebrates! The preservation in amber can beso good it inspired a major portion of Jurassic Park, where blood suckinginsects trapped in amber provided the DNA needed to clone dinosaurs! While thescience of cloning dinosaurs from amber is, for better or worse, not a realitythe pristine fossils of small animals that are rarely fossilized in any otherway is very real! Makes for a terrific addition to any fossil collection oreven a gem for high end jewelry!
