The discovery not only solved the mystery of how swimming bugs could have been entombed in sticky sap from high up in a tree but could lead to new information about prehistoric, maybe even Jurassic, swamps, Dilcher said. Studying organisms that were trapped for millions of years in amber may help scientists to recreate prehistoric water ecosystems and learn how these life forms changed over time, he said.

I got to go down into an amber mine in the Dominican Republic. It was in a gray layer of rock between two other layers of darker rock. The gray layer had thin black layers that got more and more numerous from the top and bottom of the stratum until they met in a seam in the middle of the stratum. In this seam is found nodules of amber. The stratum was too thin to make a walkable tunnel. It was squat in and squat out. Inside, it smelled like there had been a considerable amount of squatting of other sorts.
