Dominican Amber
Dominican amber is amber from the Dominican Republic derived from resin of the extinct tree '' Hymenaea protera''. Dominican amber differentiates itself from Baltic amber by being nearly always transparent, and it has a higher number of fossil inclusions. This has enabled the detailed reconstruction of the ecosystem of a long-vanished tropical forest.George Poinar, Jr. and Roberta Poinar, 1999. ''The Amber Forest: A Reconstruction of a Vanished World'', (Princeton University Press) Age The age of the amber has been controversial. A study in the early 1990s returned a date up to 40 million years old. However, other authors have suggested a date in the Miocene, around 20–15 million years old, based on marine microfossils found in the sediment the amber is contained in. Mining sites There are three main sites in the Dominican Republic where amber is found: ''La Cordillera Septentrional'', in the north, and ''Bayaguana'' and ''Sabana de la Mar'', in the east. In the northern ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
