+thexfile Subscriber² Posted November 14, 2024 Subscriber² Share Posted November 14, 2024 The first ever piece of the Antarctic amber was found in a sediment core from the mid-shelf section of Pine Island trough in Antarctica. “Resin is a direct plant product defined as a lipid-soluble mixture of volatile and non-volatile compounds usually exuded within a plant or at its surface, predominantly by gymnosperms,” said lead author Dr. Johann Klages from the University of Bremen and colleagues. “Some plant resins are able to fossilize under certain conditions and get preserved in the geological record as amber.” “Until now, the southernmost amber finds are of mid-Cretaceous age and have been discovered in the Otway basin in southern Australia (Otway amber) and as part of the Tupuangi Formation on the Chatham Islands, New Zealand (Tupuangi amber), respectively.” https://www.sci.news/paleontology/pine-island-amber-13417.html +Peter Alexander London and satukoro 2 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1448913-amber-discovered-in-antarctica-for-the-first-time/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
