Organic Geochemistry of Fossil Resins from the Czech Republic
AbstractFive fossil resins from various localities in the Czech Republic were investigated. To arrive at more detailed description of the resins, pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with derivatisation using tetramethylammonium hydroxide, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and micropetrography were applied. The content of organic macerals,

Species-level determination of closely related araucarian resins using FTIR spectroscopy and its implications for the provenance of New Zealand amber [PDF]
Some higher plants, both angiosperms and gymnosperms, can produce resins and some of these resins can polymerize and fossilize to form ambers. Various physical and chemical techniques have been used to identify and profile different plant resins and have

Early Miocene coastal taphonomy: piddock and barnacle inclusions from Chiapas amber [PDF]
Piddocks (Pholadidae) are bivalves adapted for boring in substrates such as wood, rocks, and fossil resins. While the trace fossils associated with their boring behavior (Teredolites and Apectoichnus) are well documented, their body fossils are much ...
