| Abstract: | The application of modern techniques such as infra-red absorption, mass and emission spectrometry, thin-layer chromatography and neutron activation analysis have been critically tested as a means for the identification of the geological localities of amber and other fossil resins. Thin-layer chromatography and emission spectrometry do not appear to reveal significant results. However, infra-red and mass spectrometry allow the identification of succinite, which may be geologically located in the vast area between the Black Sea, Carpathian Mountains, South Baltic, Sweden, Denmark, and Great Britain. |
