Museum amber display...help!




I am forwarding this over from the dinosaur listserver.  Can any of you help
Nancy with her exhibit?  Remember to respond to her, not to me!

Perhaps someone can help me with a small exhibit we are making 
about amber ----mainly because we're going to have the Dinamation 
dinos this fall for a major exhibit.  So far so good with borrowing, 
scroungin, etc., but now need to have a non-copyrighted pix/pixes of 
some kind of tree that at least might have produced a resin that 
developed into amber.  Our library doesn't have anything that I can 
use....if worst comes to worst, maybe someone has a slide of some 
living dipterocarp, auracariaceae (other than at K-Mart--like what a 
real tree would look like) or some kauri gum in situ that we could 
use without any legal problems.  

Comments about the bee-bacteria also welcome.  Thanks for your help.
