How Amber Fossils are Born: The sap flowing from trees was a deadly trap for animals living in and visiting the Eocene forest. Flying insects sat on drops of the oozing sap. The less mobile inhabitants of the forest were caught by the flow of the stream. It preserved all kinds of organisms, from microbes, plants, insects and spiders to small vertebrates, that made contact with the sticky substance. The fossils are preserved with minute details of their morphology. One of the most fascinating aspects of amber is the inclusions which are infrequently found within it. Some of these inclusions in the form of plants and insects are more than 100 millions years old but look as though they were trapped yesterday!

Its warm lustrous touch beguiles us and the remarkable inclusions sometimes found within it capture our imagination.
