Amber Listserv / Fw: Amber Digest, Vol 27, Issue 5

[JOHN FUDALA]

I recieived this intriquing table a long time ago from a friend in science
circles.
Also, there is a paper in Acta Thermochemicals (I believe) establishing
Kauri Gum as 40+ milion years old! (some deposits).
Just like Dominican Republic in some ways- they have amber, but also copal.
All depends on where on the island you look.
