because they most likely came from different areas. so they didn't have the same type of climate. another possibility is that amber traps only small animals or insects it seems

Why it is difficult to find complete fossil records?
Insect fossils are hard to find because of the environment in which they lived -- and died. If an insect just drops dead it needs to be in an environment which is suitable for the formation of fossils. If it dropped into a lake or river it could be eaten by a fish -- no chance of fossilisation there. If it was in a desert it would dry up and its' exoskeleton would break apart and blow away. Insect fossils are normally found in amber, (fossil tree sap), which is very sticky when fresh, some cherts have insect fossils, (sometimes found where there were hot, silica-rich volcanic springs).

Fossils are the remains of plants and animals that lived long ago?
I think your looking for Fossils, They contain imprints of Plant and Animal material up to millions of years old. If you want a specific rock that contains Preserved animal or plant remains, try Amber, its Tree sap that has solidified into rock over time and often the insects or plants are perfectly preserved inside. I hope this was helpfull!
