The Prussian Formation, previously known as the Amber Formation, is a geologic formation in Prussia, today mostly Kaliningrad Oblast that dates to the Eocene.[1] It holds 90% of the world's amber supply and Baltic amber is found exclusively in the Prussian Formation.[2]
The Prussian Formation is equivalent to the Obukhov Formation of Ukraine and Belarus.
