What Trees Produce Amber?

It was once thought that the resin that produced amber came from only one type of tree, the araucariacean conifer, also called the Kauri pine, currently found today only in New Zealand (Figure 6.3). But there is an extensive fossil record of the tree in the Southern and Northern Hemispheres, and scientists think the Baltic amber originated from this tree, based on chemical signatures.

Although the majority of the amber did come from the Kauri pine,303 resin producing amber is now known from at least three other families of conifers and twelve families of flowering plants.301 A chemical analysis can usually determine the original tree. One problem for secular scientists is that the presence of amber indicates the presence of flowering plants, putting them 200 million years too early for their evolution (see first in depth section at the end of the chapter).
