What are the formation conditions of amber?

Amber, popularly speaking, is a kind of plant resin, similar to what we often call "rosin". Made of plants (mostly trees with wooden structure) at a certain temperature. Of course, the temperature is usually very high to make them secrete viscous or colloidal liquid secretions. After long-term burial, the secretion gradually lost its volatile components, and then oxidized and consolidated, gradually forming resin fossils. This kind of fossil seems to have no stone texture of rock, but it has also gone through all the processes of underground burial and fossil formation for millions to millions of years. We call them special fossils-organic fossils, and there are similar coals. Because of this, it is essentially different from modern natural resin.

2. How did the insects in amber survive?

Amber is classified according to color and packaging inside. There are many kinds of amber. Common colors are golden yellow, chestnut and purple. And the types of inclusions are mostly insects, plants and so on. Amber fossils with insects are relatively rare and precious, and we call them "insects". So, how did the insects in amber survive? This is a complicated and coincidental process. First of all, the sticky resin flowed down the trunk and did not solidify immediately. At this time, insects are flying around here. Unfortunately, insects inadvertently stuck to the resin during the unintentional flight. Then the resin on the trunk flowed down along the previous route, and the insects failed to escape the secretion. Finally, they became insects in the Pearl River. Later, after geological action, the early trees were buried in the ground, and even the resin of organic matter was buried in the ground. After thousands of years of changes, amber is what we see today.
