A Burmese amber tick wrapped in spider silk

Cretaceous Research, 2018
Abstract 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, 2015
Abstract 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.

Baltic amber or Burmese amber: FTIR studies on amber artifacts of Eastern Han Dynasty unearthed from Nanyang

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, 2018
Cretaceous 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

Palaeoentomology
The 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.

Fluorescence Characteristics and Main Fluorescence Component in Burmese 'chameleon' Amber

Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy
One special variety of Burmese amber is "chameleon" amber, named for the bluish-green colour that appears to float on its surface. This material is found in the famous Tengchong market in Yunnan Province, China's largest Burmese amber market. Its bodycolour ranges from golden brown to brownish-red or even red.

Newly discovered ammonites in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber

Palaeoentomology
Amber is famous for preserving detailed records of terrestrial and soft-bodied organisms that have a low preservation potential elsewhere in the fossil record. Because preservation in amber is biased toward animals such as insects that live in close association with resin-producing trees, inclusions of marine fossils in Mesozoic amber are extremely ...

The Dustywings in cretaceous Burmese amber (Insecta: Neuroptera: Coniopterygidae)

Journal of Systematic Palaeontology, 2004
Synopsis The dustywing fauna (Neuroptera: Coniopterygidae) of Upper Albian Burmese amber is revised. Two species are recognised, one belonging to the subfamily Aleuropteryginae and one to the Coniopteryginae. The aleuropterygine species is placed in the genus Glaesoconis (Glaesoconis baliopteryx sp.
