We're all familiar with the mosquito trapped in amber in the movie 'Jurassic Park', but what was that amber made from?

Amber is a result of the fossilized resin from ancient forests. In response to destruction or injury, plants secrete aromatic resins for their protective benefits. These resins often trap various debris such as seeds, leaves, feathers, and insects.
