Popis: A large mass of resin recovered from the Baltic Sea in 1988 has been thought to be Baltic amber (succinite) or its variety gedanite. The physical properties (melting point, solubility), spectral characteristics (infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance) and most conclusively a component analysis by gas chromatography — mass spectrometry show that the find is not a fossil resin but a modern, manufactured rosin or colophony.
