Amber effectively traps and preserves delicate biological inclusions and air pockets over millions of years.

The analysis

Multiple peer-reviewed studies confirm that fossilized tree resin (amber) acts as an exceptional matrix for long-term preservation, trapping organisms, biomolecules, and air pockets across millions of years.
