• Resumen

  • A new discovery of in situ amber from the Lower Cretaceous series of the northern side of the "Páramo de la Lora" is reported. A detailed analysis of the outcrop section revealed facies attributed to transitional continental-marine enviroments (lagoon). Amber globules were found within siltstones beds on erosion surfaces. After exhaustive examinations gaseous and fungi inclusions appeared. Palaeoenviromental interpretation suggests that the amber was deposited during storms in a restricted lagoon.
