Ptychodus04 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 I recently acquired a bulk sample of material from the Lower Permian Admiral Formation in Oklahoma. It contained multiple fragments and bones from several reptiles and amphibians. Most likely Captorhinus and Doleserpeton. In the mix, I found what appears to be a small (1-2mm) ball of what appears to be amber. Photos coming soon. Does anyone know of any references to Permian age amber specimens?

Auspex Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 I have heard of Permian amber from Russia, and would suspect that any treed terrestrial deposit could contain it.
