Burmese amber, also known as burmite comes mainly from the Hukawng Valley in northern Myanmar. It dates back to nearly 100 million years, the early Cenomanian stage of the late Cretaceous period. During that period angiosperm plants started to replace the gymnosperms. This is one of the most important periods in the evolution of life on earth and the formation of modern flora and fauna
