Atmosphere Refs
Hey,
I agree with Larry and Jeff that the entire idea of oxygen and other
atmospheric gases being trapped in amber bubbles for over 65 million years is a
bit shady and hard to believe, but anyway....here are some refs that relate to
the subject. I know that there is another paper out that that deals explicitly
with the bubbles, but I don't have it.

Furthermore, check out Hengst's letter to the journal Science in the July 3,
1998 issue.
