In this area amber (Baltic amber) has been excavated since the mid-19th century and up to today in open-pit mining. Two deposits – Palmnikenskoe and Primorskoe, containing 80% of world amber reserves, were found near Yantarny on the Western coast of the Sambia Peninsula in 1948-1951’s. [1]

[8] In 2010 the coccoid number was reported to only be 10% of all inclusions, while nematoceran flies made up 30% of the inclusions and parasitoid wasps ...
The formations are found along the northwestern margin of the Ukrainian Crystalline Shield [4] exposed in the Rivne region of Ukraine and across the border near Rechitsa in the Gomel Region of Belarus. [5] The granite basement rock was overlain by sandy to clayey deposits that were host to alluvial amber. [3]
