Amber
Fossilized tree resin is known as amber. When an insect or bug gets trapped in the sticky tree sap and the sap gets buried in sediment over time, the resin can undergo a process of polymerization and harden into a solid mass. The insect or animal remains become encased in the hardened resin, creating a fossilized specimen that can be preserved for millions of years. The resulting fossil is known as an inclusion and can provide valuable insights into the ancient biodiversity and ecology of past ecosystems.
