The paper contains a review of coleopteran genera known from Baltic, Bitterfeld and Rovno
amber localities. Altogether 420 genera (191 extinct and 229 extant) from 78 families are …

Amber is an exceptional organic mineral found all over the world that occasionally contains
fossilised organisms. The physical and chemical characteristics of amber pose a challenge …

Terrestrial ecosystems of the long-isolated former Gondwanan landmass of New Zealand
are hotspots of modern global biodiversity, based on the level of endemism and …

The Baltic amber deposit represents the largest accumulation of any fossil resin worldwide
and hundreds of thousands of entrapped arthropods have been recovered so far. The …

Amber is a valuable source of Mesozoic and Cenozoic fossil fungi. The earliest amber‐
preserved fungi were described in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries from Eocene …

Many calicioid fungi accumulate ascospores into an adhesive mass, called the mazaedium,
at tips of stipitate apothecia. Fossil specimens from European ambers demonstrate that this …

The common notion that the extensive European Paleogene amber deposits derived from
tropical or subtropical forests has recently been questioned on the basis of plant inclusions …

Diverse temperate forest types and a high atmospheric humidity have recently been
suggested for the Eocene source area of Baltic amber. However, ferns are astonishingly rare …

ABSTRACT The Chickaloon Formation in south-central Alaska contains rich coal deposits
dated very close to the Paleocene-Eocene boundary, immediately beneath which occur …

Calicioid lichens and fungi are a polyphyletic grouping of tiny ascomycetes that accumulate
a persistent spore mass (mazaedium) on top of their usually well-stalked ascomata …
