For your information:
Amber from the Oise region is particularly well-known thanks to the deposits located around Chevrières and Houdancourt, in the Paris Basin. The Quesnoy deposit, between Chevrières and Houdancourt, yielded significant quantities of amber during excavation campaigns conducted beginning in the late 1990s. The relevant strata date to the Lower Eocene, approximately 53 million years ago.
The Quesnoy deposit is now inaccessible and submerged, which heightens the interest in older specimens from this site.
