New Jersey amber

 * ... that around the turn of the 20th century, New Jersey amber (amber pictured) was burned for heat in the winter?


 * ALT1:... that fossils in New Jersey amber (pictured) were first described in 1821?
 * Reviewed: Necromys
 * Comment: Article prior to expansion was comprised of cut and pasted sentences from other articles. Thus this is a new article as I understand the nom rules.

 * Symbol voting keep.svg The article is new enough, having gone through a 5x expansion of a recently created low quality article and is more than long enough. The content is neutral, well-sourced and has no copyright or close paraphrase issues, as I see it. Both hooks are interesting, but I'd recommend ALT1. Both hooks rely on the same offline source and are accepted in good faith. QPQ has been satisfied. Alansohn (talk) 20:17, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
