Summary edit

Description
English: Resin mass on living Acacia tree in the South Australian Outback.

Biogenic products are objects produced by ancient organisms. Many paleontologists refer to these as trace fossils, but they really aren't. Examples of fossil biogenic products include eggs, amber (fossilized tree sap), coprolites (fossilized feces), and spider silk.

Some modern trees release relatively copious amounts of resin (sap), which is a potential precursor to copal and amber. This photo shows an Acacia tree in the South Australian Outback that has oozed a decent-sized mass of resin.
