fossils
They land on a tree and get stuck in sap on the surface. Amber is petrified tree sap.
An effective way to distinguish between real and fake amber is through the saltwater test - real amber will float in saltwater, while fake amber will sink. Additionally, real amber emits a pine-tree scent when burned, while fake amber smells like plastic. Lastly, real amber will feel warm to the touch, whereas fake amber will remain cool.
If you mean amber the gemstone then this answer holds good. Amber is not a mineral but time-hardened fossilized resin of the species of pine called Pinus Succinisera which grew in forests around 45 million years ago, in the European main land known to us as the Baltic region today. Amber gem was used by Palaeoliyhic man in Austria from 45000 -12000 B.C. The nomadic hunters of the Nesolithic age (12000-4000 B.C.) used amber to hunt animals. They carved phases of the moon, hunting seasons and the animals that they hunted on amber. The Neolithic man (4000-1900 B.C.) started using amber as decorative articles and jewels. The rich people of these societies usually owned amber jewelry and used to gift it to their friends and relatives. Later, towards the end of the eighth century B.C. the Greeks started using amber for inlay work in gold and ivory. Romans found use for amber only in the first century B.C to first century A.D, where they made rings and vessels out of amber. to read more click on amber
Yes, fossils can be found preserved in amber. Amber is fossilized tree resin that can capture and preserve insects, small animals, and even plant materials. This provides valuable insights into ancient ecosystems and evolution.
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
yes. it depends on the temperature of the amber. yes. it depends on the temperature of the amber.
Amber is sap from a tree that has hardened and when an insect gets stuck in it, the sap covers it completely over a long period of time. It preserves the insect because there is nothing in the amber that acts as a decomposer.
