Charentes Amber (Fouras Peninsula, ~100.5-98 Ma)
Barrelcactusaddict posted a gallery image in Members Gallery
From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
Select specimens of Charentes amber, 5.5g in total weight (far right specimen is 2.9g, 20x19x16mm); these are the more attractive specimens of a 45.5g lot, while most are opaque with a light yellow-beige coloration; some have transparent layers alongside translucent and opaque layers, and one specimen has a marcasite inclusion near its center. This material is extremely fragile and low-fractile, crumbling quite easily. Since 2005 the original site on Fouras for this amber has since been developed, and is no longer accessible; what few exposures do remain yield very little material (this is als© Kaegen Lau

Atlantic Coastal Plain Amber (Bladen Fm., ~77-75 Ma)
Barrelcactusaddict posted a gallery image in Members Gallery
From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
Select pieces of cretaceous (mid-Campanian) amber from North Carolina, weighing roughly 0.7-1.5g each; most pieces found from this locality only weigh under a couple grams, which is typical of most U.S. deposits. Along many portions of the Neuse river, south of Goldsboro, the embankments expose the various members of the Black Creek Group: the Bladen member overlies the older Tar Heel Fm., and underlies the younger Donoho Creek Fm. To date, amber has only been officially described to occur in the Bladen member, and is believed to be of araucarian and/or cupressaceous origin.© Kaegen Lau

Looking for Fossil Flora of the late Cretaceous/Early Tertiary...
MetasequoiaOccidentalis posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi All, I'm looking for good locations and formations of Fossil members of Cupressaceae and Araucariaceae, and any other conifer species that might apply, in the Western and Southwest United States. Any other known localities of good exposures of fossil flora in the US would be appreciated. I've visited John Day and the Chuckanut Formation, as well, so I'm already aware of those. Anybody know anything about LA Porte, California or Ione, California for fossil plants? Thanks in advance. -
Anybody know where to find good Cupressaceae and Araucariaceae affiliates in Utah?

Planning a trip to Utah the next few weeks... Looking for Moriconia, Elatides, Brachyphyllum and any other related fossil conifer genera. Any tips on formations or locations would be appreciated!
