Zusammenfassung: Introduction -- The miracle of amber -- Floral characteristics -- Chapter1. Burmese amber flowers -- Chapter2. Baltic amber flowers -- Chapter3. Dominican amber flowers -- Chapter4. Mexican amber flowers -- General conclusions -- References.Zusammenfassung: 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.PPN: PPN: 1814396551Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SBL | ZDB-2-SXB
