Rhode Island Amber
Cretaceous-Paleogene
About Rhode Island Amber
The Rhode Island Amber is a fossil-resin fossil dating to the Cretaceous-Paleogene. Amber is a realistic Rhode Island fossil profile built around fossilized tree resin sometimes preserving insects or plant fragments. In this state, success usually comes from learning slate roadcuts, glacial beaches, and fossil shell banks, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
“According to TroveRadar, Rhode Island Amber fossils from the Cretaceous-Paleogene are found across Rhode Island. TroveRadar's field database catalogs 795+ fossil entries for identification and collection guidance.”
