 * Symbol question.svg Length and date fine. Sources reliable with no copy vios. Hook correctly formatted and cited. Article well-written. One small question on wording: I thought you might want to alter "mostly likely." Also, the wording of "host rock being secondary deposits for the amber" makes it sound as though the host rock was the secondary deposit. Thank you for your article and DYK nomination.

 * I modified the "mostly likely" wording. The sedimentary rocks are possibly the secondary deposit for the amber so that's what should be taken from the wording. It is suggested that the Dominican ambers may have been preserved in a different sedimentary host, and that host rock was then eroded away and the amber redeposited into the formations that host it now.-- Kev  min  § 04:07, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
