But in general the Lebanese sites are much, much better, and are more well-studied because of their status as lagerstaetten. There is also amber there which is comparatively old in terms of inclusion-bearing amber, and is very relevant to insect evolution (older than the Burmese amber). I believe amber can be found in some neighboring countries as well. > > Now that you mention it, I'm wondering if there is any oppurtunities to study this material in Israel. |
