Plural form referring to fossil resins or amber-like substances derived from ancient birch trees.
From Latin 'betula' (birch) plus '-ites', the geology suffix for fossils and minerals. This term describes preserved ancient birch tree products found in geological layers.
Betulites are fossilized tree resins that can trap ancient insects and pollen—they're like tiny time capsules from millions of years ago that show us what forests looked like when dinosaurs were disappearing.
