Baltic amber is also found in Poland, as well as the Baltic states. Bitterfeld amber from the brown coal mines near Bitterfeld in Germany was previously thought to be redeposited Baltic amber, but is now known to be chemically distinct, though like with Ukrainian Rovno amber, it is thought to have been deposited around the same time as Baltic ...
The fossil record of Bitterfeld and Baltic amber insects is very similar with a number of shared species, and that similarity is noted in the suggestions of a single source for the paleoforest that produced the amber. [8] The amber deposits on the Danish coast, often referred to as Scandinavian amber, is of similar age to the other three ...
Open cast amber mine "Primorskoje" in Jantarny, Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia Extracting Baltic amber from Holocene deposits, Gdańsk, Poland. Amber is globally distributed in or around all continents, [36] mainly in rocks of Cretaceous age or younger. Historically, the coast west of Königsberg in Prussia was the world's leading source of amber ...
The Goa'uld have naquadah mining operations on many planets, and make use of refined naquadah as a form of currency. [48] Naqadah is used in liquid form, to power Goa'uld staff weapons, and heavy liquid naquadah is used to power Goa'uld AG-3 weapon satellites. [49] Naquadah can also be used to create weapons of mass destruction. [50] Naquadria ...
Amber deposit from Partynice - Dating from the 1st century BC amber deposit found in Wrocław. It is the world's largest archaeological find of amber, estimated at 1,240–1,760 kg. Currently it is in the Archaeological Museum in Wrocław. In Poland, the north–south motorway A1 is officially named Amber Highway. [18]
The Sambian amber-producing region is a square of about 30–40 km (20–25 miles), although geologists estimate there are deposits beyond the region of the main excavations. [2] A potential nearby source of amber is the Courish Lagoon. [2] Amber excavation is overseen by the Russian Amber Company (Ruskij Jantar). [2] [5]
Bitterfeld amber is recovered from coal deposits in the Saxony area of Germany and the dating of the deposits is uncertain. Bitterfeld represents a section of the Eocene Paratethys Sea, and the amber that is recovered from the region is thought to be redeposited from older sediments. The fossil record of Bitterfeld and Baltic amber insects is ...
Mycetophagites is an extinct fungal genus of mycoparasitic in the order Hypocreales. [1] A monotypic genus, it contains the single species Mycetophagites atrebora.. The genus is solely known from the Lower Cretaceous, Upper Albian stage (about 100 Ma), Burmese amber deposits in Myanmar. [1]
