Amber occurs in the coal sediments as nodules or in sheets of variable
thickness. Heavy compressed due lithification process, this amber shows
encrusted textures to bright, semicrystalline surfaces due to
weathering. Molds and crust linked to tree bark are also observable in
amber with sheet forms. Several amber samples (mostly nodular shapes)
show depositional episodic layers; this is consistent with different
events of production. The resin was successively accumulated forming a
hardened mass with multilaminar layers. Living resin-producing trees
show similar seasonal variations with increased resin depositions during
summer.
This amber occurs in rocks from the Mazantic and
Balumtum Formations, dated as earlymiddle Miocene in age. The amber
deposits are associated with nearshore and lowlands sediments.
Fossil biota, both plants and animals, are also linked to a subtropical forest.
The amber mined in Chiapas belongs to the Mazantic and Balumtum strata, early-middle Miocene, ca. 23-13 Ma.
