The Darwin wasps (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) of Burmese amber
Palaeoentomology, 2021Three new genera and five new species of Darwin wasps (Ichneumonidae) are described from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese (Kachin) amber: Heteropimpla pulverulenta sp. nov., Rasnichneumon alexandri gen. et sp. nov., R. gracilis sp. nov., Heteroichneumon rasnitsyni gen. et sp. nov., and Rogichneumon braconidicus gen. et sp. nov.

A Fossil Bee from Early Cretaceous Burmese Amber
Science, 2006The bee fossil record is fragmentary, making it difficult to accurately estimate the antiquity of bee-mediated pollination. Here, we describe a bee fossil [Melittosphex burmensis (new species), Melittosphecidae (new family)] from Early Cretaceous Burmese amber (~100 million years before the present).

A Burmese amber tick wrapped in spider silk
Cretaceous Research, 2018Abstract A unique inclusion from Cretaceous (ca. 100 Ma) Burmese amber from Myanmar is described comprising a fossil hard tick (Parasitiformes: Ixodida: Ixodidae) wrapped in spider silk. Fossil ticks are very rare. Those from Burmese amber are the oldest examples of Ixodida recorded so far, and this is also the first time that this specific ...

A camel spider from Cretaceous Burmese amber
Cretaceous Research, 2015Abstract The first camel spider (Arachnida, Solifugae) from the Upper Cretaceous (lowermost Cenomanian, ca. 99 Ma) Burmese amber from Myanmar is described as Cushingia ellenbergeri gen. et sp. nov. It represents one of only a handful of fossils belonging to this arachnid order, but its precise systematic affinities are difficult to resolve.

Nature, 1922
AMBER mines have long been known in Upper Burma, or rather in the adjacent “unadministered tracts.” In 1916 Mr. R. C. J. Swinhoe, of Mandalay, began to send me specimens of Burmese amber (Burmite) containing insects. As opportunity has offered, he has continued to obtain such material, all of which has been transmitted, after investigation, to the ...

Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2019
There is no case of scientific and technological analysis on archaeological amber of Han Dynasty in China. To estimate the provenance micro-destructively, we have utilized GC/MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectromete) and FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) analysis on the amber artifacts which were excavated from the stone-carved tomb M18 ...

A flattened enantiornithine in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber: morphology and preservation
Science Bulletin, 2018Cretaceous amber from Myanmar (∼99 Ma Burmese amber) has become a valuable supplement to the traditional skeletal record of small theropod dinosaurs preserved in sedimentary rocks, particularly for coelurosaurs and enantiornithines. The specimens recovered from this deposit preserve skeletal material and soft tissues in unmatched detail.

Epibiont communities on mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber
PalaeoentomologyThe mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber was extensively colonized by marine epibiont communities, including pholadids, corals, oysters, and serpulids. In this study, we report a diverse array of marine organisms that adhered to the amber, forming epibiont communities.
