This specific pattern is believed to be 33 to 40 million years previous.

This amber is believed to have been a resin from a tree’s bark or heartwood. Over time, the liquid resign loses its unstable components and hardens right into a polymer type. Moreover, the ambers recovered have usually been buried in an oxygen-free surroundings, which additionally helps their preservation.
