Armoured Lepidopteran Caterpillars Preserved in Non-Fossil Resins and What They Tell Us about the Fossil Preservation of Caterpillars [PDF]
InsectsResin is a plastic-like product of trees. Older occurrences of such resin are referred to as amber and are considered fossil resin. Younger resins are termed copals. Even younger ones have been dubbed defaunation resins.

Map of fossil resins of Ukraine
Мінеральні ресурси України, 2020 Finding out the conditions of the geological past under which tar secretions were fossilised and primary bio-sedimentary deposits of protoamber were accumulated and amber-succinite placers formed in the marine environment is an important link in ...

The First Record of Whitefly (Hemiptera, Sternorrhyncha, Aleyrodidae) from Bitterfeld Amber [PDF]
InsectsA male specimen of whitefly Pudrica christianottoi Drohojowska et Szwedo, 2024, of subfamily Aleyrodinae, previously known from the sole female specimen from Lower Lusatia succinite, is here described, based on an inclusion from Bitterfeld amber.

Experimental maturation of pine resin in sediment to investigate the formation of synthetic copal and amber [PDF]
Scientific ReportsExperimentally simulating fossil resin formation would improve our understanding of copal/amber and could simulate the diagenesis of resin inclusions. Resin from living Pinus underwent sediment-encased maturation under various temperature and pressure ...

Investigation of fossil resins and amber
Georesursy, 2017 Fossil resins and amber are a product of lithogenesis of resinous substances of higher plants – resinite. These components of plants, like other lipoid ingredients (suberins, coutines, sporinins, natural rubbers) are resistant to microbial action, so ...

Hypergene alterations of succinite and its vulnerability under various environmental conditions
Geo&Bio, 2021 The article describes the alteration of succinite under conditions of hypergenesis as a result of oxidation, including a change in colour, contraction of the outer surface and the appearance of microcracks, changes in the construction of the outer ...

A two‐photon fluorescence micro‐spectroscopy method for chemotaxonomic characterization of fossil resins [PDF]
Applications in Plant SciencesPremise Amber, a fossilized chemical defensive exudate, is important for understanding ancient plant–insect/pathogen interactions, yet its botanical origins, especially for Cretaceous amber, remain enigmatic.

Bibliometric Review of State-of-the-art Research on Microbial Oils’ Use for Biobased Epoxy
Environmental and Climate Technologies, 2023 Epoxy resins are widely used polymers from which a variety of products are derived and applied in many industries. Most epoxy resins are still obtained from mainly fossil feedstocks, such as epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A, which are also highly toxic ...
