ABSTRACT
Geological and evolutionary concept of the genesis of fossil resins: Fossil resins are a special group of natural organic compounds. The work is devoted to the determination of special features of formation, distribution, properties, composition of different types of fossil resins. The paper deals with the evolution of concepts of origin of fossil resins, contains data on the sources of resiniferous vegetation, discusses a problem of succinosis and a role of the chemical impact of mineral medium containing resins on the process of their formation, substantiates prospects of revealing of new resin deposits in the Mesozoic and Cainozoic sedimentations of Northern Eurasia.
