Amber
| | Amber is made of tree resin, which is the semi-solid organic substance secreted in pockets and canals through epithelial cells of the plant.
Most of the world's amber is 30 to 90 million years old. Amber sometimes contains insects and small vertebrates which were caught when it was soft and sticky, much like dinosaurs were trapped in mud pits. | | | | |
