English: Amber (resinite) - raw amber from the Baltics.
The three principal categories of fossils are: body fossils, trace fossils, and biogenic products. Biogenic products are objects produced by ancient organisms. Many paleontologists refer to these as trace fossils (= tracks, trails, burrows, borings, footprints, bitemarks, etc.). Examples of fossil biogenic products include eggs, amber (fossilized tree sap), coprolites (fossilized feces), and spider silk. Fossilized tree sap, a.k.a. resin, is called amber. Resin that has not been completely altered to amber is called copal (“subfossilized tree sap”). The general term for such materials is resinite. Copal ranges in age from several years old to ~33,000 years old. True amber ranges in age from a few million to hundreds of millions of years old - as far back as the Carboniferous. Amber and copal vary in color, but are typically a rich, light- to dark-golden brown. Resinites are quite lightweight (but amber is more dense than copal), and show conchoidal fracture when broken. Copal often is, and has been, passed off as true amber. Amber is valued as a gem material for its transparency and distinctive color. Amber and copal are also valued for the frequent presence of fossil inclusions - typically insects. Some references on amber & fossils in amber: Poinar, G. & R. Poinar. 1994.
