retinitenoun
Any of various resins, similar in appearance to amber, associated with brown coal
Wikipedia
Retinite
Retinite is resin, particularly from beds of brown coal which are near amber in appearance, but contain little or no succinic acid. It may conveniently serve as a generic name, since no two independent occurrences prove to be alike, and the indefinite multiplication of names, no one of them properly specific, is not to be desired. Retinite resins contain no succinic acid and oxygen from 6% to 15%.
Webster Dictionary
Retinitenoun
an inflammable mineral resin, usually of a yellowish brown color, found in roundish masses, sometimes with coal
Etymology: [Gr. resin: cf. F. rtinite.]
