The occurrence of arthropods in amber exclusively from the Cretaceous and Cenozoic is widely regarded to be a result production preservation large amounts tree resin beginning ca. 130 million years (Ma) ago. Abundant 230 million-year-old Late Triassic (Carnian) northeastern Italy has previously yielded myriad microorganisms, but we report here that it also preserves some 100 Ma older than earliest prior records amber. specimens are nematoceran fly (Diptera) two disparate species mites,...
Amber is of great paleontological importance because it preserves a diverse array organisms and associated remains from different habitats in close to the amber-producing forests. Therefore, discovery amber inclusions important not only for tracing evolutionary history lineages with otherwise poor fossil records, but also elucidating composition, diversity, ecology terrestrial paleoecosystems. Here, we report unique find African inclusions, Cretaceous Ethiopia. Ancient arthropods belonging...

Carnian-aged amber (c. 230 Ma) from north-eastern Italy contains the first pre-Cretaceous inclusions of arthropods, plant remains and microorganisms. Here, we report further recovery mites this Late Triassic amber, supporting prediction a diversity arthropods to be found in oldest known fossiliferous resin. Two new genera species Tetrapodili lineage, Minyacarus aderces Cheirolepidoptus dolomiticus, are described. They indicate, along with two previously described taxa these mites,...
Abstract The Heiligkreuz-Santa Croce Formation (also known as Durrenstein Formation, Upper Triassic) in the Dolomites contains one of most ancient and substantial Triassic amber deposits world. is found sandstones paleosols. It has an affinity to conifer family Cheirolepidiaceae, samples from Julian Carnic Alps (Southern Alps) also show this family. Physico-chemical investigations by solid-state Fourier-transform infrared analysis (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR),...
The Prati di Stuores/Stuores Wiesen section (Dolomites, Italy) is proposed as a candidate Global Stratotype Section and Point for the base of Carnian Stage. In addition to being famous, richly fossiliferous locality, it includes type-section Cordevolian substage. located near Pralongia, along southern slope crest separating Badia/Abtei Cordevole valleys. Below levels with Trachyceras aon , contains rich ammonoid fauna that chacterizes lower part Regoledanus Subzone subsequently records first...
Abstract The Northern Hemisphere dominates our knowledge of Mesozoic and Cenozoic fossilized tree resin (amber) with few findings from the high southern paleolatitudes Southern Pangea Gondwana. Here we report new Pangean Gondwana amber occurrences dating ~230 to 40 Ma Australia (Late Triassic Paleogene Tasmania; Late Cretaceous Gippsland Basin in Victoria; Paleocene late middle Eocene Victoria) New Zealand Chatham Islands). Paleogene, richly fossiliferous deposits contain significant diverse...
