Burmese amber: evidence of Gondwanan origin and Cretaceous dispersion

Historical Biology, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 6

Published: March 9, 2018

Burmese amber is an extremely important source of mid-Cretaceous plant and animal remains with over 870 species organisms, ranging from protozoa to vertebrates, described this source. The mines are located on the West Burma Block that according geologists was originally part Gondwana. present study introduces some angiosperms insects in whose closest extant relatives have a Gondwanan distribution there no previous evidence Laurasian distribution. Based evidence, it proposed organisms represent selection tropical subtropical life forms inhabited interconnected continents Gondwana Early Cretaceous. fossil record their diversity amber, could not rafted SE Asia before

The Weevil Fauna Preserved in Burmese Amber—Snapshot of a Unique, Extinct Lineage (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea)

Diversity, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 11(1), P. 1 - 1

Published: Dec. 20, 2018

Only a few weevils have been described from Burmese amber, and although most misclassified, they show unusual specialised characters unknown in extant weevils. In this paper, we present the results of study much larger more diverse selection amber We prepared all blocks to maximise visibility structures examined these with high-magnification light microscopy as well CT scanning (selected specimens). redescribe previously taxa describe 52 new species 26 genera, accompanied by photographs. compare critical those outline effects distortion on their preservation interpretation. conclude that only two weevil families are thus far represented Nemonychidae newly recognised family, Mesophyletidae, which appears closely related Attelabidae but cannot be accommodated family. The geniculate antennae long rostrum exodont mandibles Mesophyletidae indicate were highly phytophages early angiosperms preserved likely ovipositing flowers or seeds. This fauna represent an extinct mid-Cretaceous ecosystem fills gap fossil record

Mesozoic Paleo-Pacific Subduction Beneath SW Borneo: U-Pb Geochronology of the Schwaner Granitoids and the Pinoh Metamorphic Group

Frontiers in Earth Science, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 8

Published: Dec. 11, 2020

The Schwaner Mountains in southwestern Borneo form a large igneous province with complex magmatic history and poorly known tectonic history. Previously it was that Cretaceous granitoids intruded metamorphic rocks of the Pinoh Metamorphic Group assumed to be Paleozoic age. Jurassic had been reported from southern Mountains. Most ages were based on K-Ar dating. We present new geochemistry, zircon U-Pb 40 Ar/ 39 Ar age data investigate their tectono-magmatic histories. subdivide into three different zones which record rifting, subduction-related post-collisional magmatism. Northwest Zone (NWSZ) is part West Block Triassic within Sundaland margin. It records magmatism during early Paleo-Pacific subduction. In contrast, North (NSZ) South (SSZ) are SW (Banda) separated NW Australia Jurassic. SSZ within-plate (A-type) granites interpreted have formed rifting. collided eastern at c. 135 Ma. Following this, I-type granitoid plutons arc volcanics NWSZ NSZ between 90 132 Ma, associated largest intrusion 110 120 Ma Sepauk Tonalite. After collision East Java-West Sulawesi (Argo) Block, subduction ceased produced 78 85 Sukadana Granite A-type 72 Sangiyang SSZ. Rocks mainly exposed NSZ, previously represent basement, contain abundant Early (110 Ma) zircons. They as volcaniclastic sediments contemporaneously volcanic subsequently metamorphosed granitoids. There no older than there evidence for continuation crossing east.
