A type of fossilized resin or amber-like mineral substance formed from ancient plant materials.
From Latin 'ambar' (amber) + Greek suffix '-ite' (stone/mineral), following the naming convention for fossilized materials and minerals that resemble or relate to amber.
Ambonite represents how paleontologists classify mysterious preserved materials—sometimes they create new names for substances that are amber-adjacent but chemically distinct, which later helps scientists understand Earth's ancient ecosystems and plant chemistry.
