Inclusions in fossil resins
Hähnel, Lydia ; Jehlička, Jan (advisor) ; Vítek, Petr (referee)
My Bachelor thesis, having a background research character, is focused onto amber and its inclusions. In the first part of my thesis, I give some general information on amber: its characteristics and formation, factors for the preservation of inclusions in amber, and distribution of amber. The second part gives a short describtion of methods for amber research. The main focus is on scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. I depict some points of the research of geographical and botanical origin of the samples too. As for the last part, I try to get from the rather theoretical explanations to practical points of amber research: what information can amber and its inclusions offer to us? I summarize a few results of amber research which are devided into three groups: information about the climate in which the sample was formed, information on the evolution of life, and information on coexistence of species.
