Summary[edit]

Description
English: Acacia tree in the South Australian Outback.

Some modern trees release relatively copious amounts of resin (sap), which is a potential precursor to copal and amber. This Acacia tree in the South Australian Outback has oozed a decent-sized mass of resin (see close-up photo elsewhere in this photo album).

Locality: near Old Wirrealpa Mine, north of Blinman-Wirrealpa Road, Flinders Ranges, South Australia


Biogenic products are objects produced by ancient organisms. Many paleontologists refer to these as trace fossils, but they really aren't. Examples of fossil biogenic products include eggs, amber (fossilized tree sap), coprolites (fossilized feces), and spider silk.
