Description

While much attention has been given to animal life in amber, the remains of a variety of plants, including angiosperm flowers, also exist in fossilized resin.��Presented here is a pictorial synopsis�of 94 flowers that occur in four major amber deposits around the world.� These deposits are from Burma (Myanmar), the Baltic area, the Dominican Republic and Mexico, and range in age from the mid-Cretaceous to the mid-Tertiary.� The basic features of these flowers are presented and their relationship with existing plant lineages discussed.� This work will be of interest to amber enthusiasts, plant taxonomists, plant morphologists, plant ecologists, plant evolutionists and plant paleontologists.�Typham this is the title: Flowers in Amber
