Oise amber
Type of amber found in France / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oise amber (French: [waz] ⓘ) is a type of amber found near the Oise river near Creil in northern France.[1] Oise amber is around 53 million years old, dating to the Early Eocene (Ypresian).[2] Oise amber is softer than Baltic amber, although Oise amber is older and both types of amber have similar geographic origins.[1] The formation is known for preserving a diverse fauna of invertebrates.
