DISTINGUISHING AMBER AND COPAL CLASSES BY PROTON MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY

Joseph B. Lambert, Charlie Tsai, Mehul Shah, Anna E. Hurtley, Jorge A. Santiago‐Blay

Open publisher page 37 citations

Abstract

Fossilized resin, or amber, has been examined from 120 worldwide sources by 1D and 2D proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in solution. These spectra fall into five categories, corresponding to the classes already established by mass spectrometry and carbon‐13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The wide availability of this technique provides a straightforward method to classify amber rapidly and inexpensively.
