Amber Listserv / australian amber

[tamber12 at aol.com]

Andy, I've looked into that some and I'm more inclined to believe it has to do with ocean currents washing the resins onto the Aussie shores.? New Zealand has similar?resin finds?on the most southern tip, and no natural deposits but if you look at the flow of current coming from the direction of the?Indonesian land mass, the current is such that buoyant materials could be transported in that direction. Just my thinking on the case.? Either way, there is such a variety of neat stuff coming from Dale's finds that I keep hoping they will discover natural deposits there.? I believe some of the strata in Cape York is old enough to support it, and that in time it will be proven.? 

Dale, thanks for sharing and for giving us something new to talk about!

Tammi

Nice one Dale. I'm again struck by the remarkable similarity between Borneo and Aussie amber. Does anyone know if these 2 places used to be a single landmass with common flora?
