MEYER Votes:0 Amber is the fossilized resin produced by ancient plants that existed millions of years ago -- it is a natural product and not a mineral. Amber has been prized for its mystery and beauty by cultures dating from the Paleolithic to the present. The story of the natural history of amber spans time, the continents, and many peoples and societies. It also ranges from religion and art to commerce and the cutting edge of contemporary science, presenting an unusually rich and deep subject. I've been able to take and compile many photographs and photomicrographs of amber and its inclusions over the years, thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of many -- scientists, museum curators, and private collectors. Together with maps and art/cultural information, it was my hope to put together a comprehens Read More Go to Site Amber homepage Votes:0 Welcome to the World of Amber by Susie Ward Aber, Emporia State University Emporia, Kansas, USA Million years ago large stands of forests in some parts of the world began to seep globs of sticky resin! This aromatic resin oozed down the sides of trees, as well as filling internal fissures, trapping debris, such as seeds, leaves, feathers and insects. As geologic time progressed the forests were buried and the resin hardened into a soft, warm, golden gem, known as amber. Amber is the fossilized resin of ancient trees which forms through a natural polymerization of the original organic compounds. Most of the world&#39s amber is in the range of 30-90 million years old. Amber is known to mineralogists as succinite , from the Latin succinum , which means amber. Heating amber will soften it and Read More Go to Site American Museum of Natural History Votes:0 div#header {width: 774px; background-color: #edf3f9;} div#header img#searchboxtop {position: absolute; top: 64px; left: 647px;} div#header img#searchboxbottom {position: absolute; top: 90px; left: 647px;} form#search {margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0;} form#search input#searchbox {position: absolute; top: 72px; left: 648px; width: 70px; height: 17px; background-color: #BDD5EC; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0 3px; font-size: 60%;} form#search input#searchbut {position: absolute; top: 64px; left: 719px;}/* border-left: solid 2px #000; border-top: solid 2px #000; border-right: solid 1px #ccc; border-bottom: solid 1px #ccc; */ Click on the different pieces of amber to find out what is captured inside and what clues it provides about this ancient ecosystem.

In fact, the fossil sea grasses found in the limestones of the MIddle Eocene Avon Park Formation of south-central Florida are among the oldest fossils known from Florida. Other leaf impressions are seen in Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene clays. Petrified woods, represented by several different trees, are sometimes found in the same layers as vertebrate fossils. A good example is the vertebrate rich Bone Valley Formation of Polk, Hillsborough, and Hardee Counties which has produced sections of petrified tree trunks weighing hundreds of pounds. At the microscopic level, Read More Go to Site Field Adventures: Petrified Forest Votes:0 Hunting For Fossil Cycads in Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona As part of a coÖperative venture between the Western Interior Paleontological Society (WIPS) and the Petrified Forest National Park , I had the opportunity to do some fieldwork in the park in October 1992. The rocks exposed there are mostly the upper Triassic Chinle Formation, a series of interbedded sandstones, claystones, and shales representing lakebed and floodplain deposits. All of our work was to be in the lower Petrified Forest member of the Chinle, in rocks approximately 220 million years old. Five of us drove down from Denver to meet with park paleontologist Vince Santucci and assist him with various research and reconnaissance projects. We were joined by a sixth WIPS member from Arizona, and all shared a condomi Read More Go to Site Global land environments during the last 130,000 years Votes:0 An updated version of this site (September 2002) with more maps and diagrams is now available at: http://members.cox.net/quaternary/ Visit my Memories of Tennessee photo gallery Global land environments since the last interglacial For a colour LGM global ecosystem summary map click here.

This website is dedicated to fossil plants . The first indications for the existence of land plants date from 470 million years ago, from the Ordovician. The oldest fossils of land plants visible with the naked eye are about 425 million years old, from the Middle Silurian. From this time on the plants spread over the land and the continents turned to green. This was the beginning of an amazing development, which created the terms for animal life on land. On the basis of mainly self-found fossils a view is given of plant life in the Silurian, the Devonian, the Carboniferous and the Permian.

Their fossil records are poor because these animals are usually soft-bodied and decay quickly after death. It is equally difficult to study the forms of delicate body parts, like feathers or fur, because they too deteriorate rapidly. But a natural preservative--amber, or fossilized tree resin--helps scientists discover the history of such fragile specimens. Prehistoric insects, spiders, and the parts of some organisms sometimes became trapped in sticky resin and were preserved when it hardened into amber.

The paleobotany type collection contains specimens which were illustrated or referred to in a publication as representative of a particular form the author(s) studied. Primary types are the specimens chosen as nameholders when a species or subspecies is first described. These include the holotype (the primary nameholder of a species) and paratypes (additional specimens used in the original species description).
