Cretaceous amber of Ecuador unveils new insights into South America’s Gondwanan forests Open
Amber, a fossilised resin, became widespread during the Barremian ( ~ 122 Ma), marking the onset of the Cretaceous Resinous Interval (125–72 Ma). While common in the Northern Hemisphere, amber containing terrestrial arthropod inclusions ha…

A Late Holocene Lecythidaceae wood record from Valle del Cauca, Colombia Open
A well-preserved fossil tree trunk was discovered in Valle del Cauca, Colombia. The radiocarbon date indicated that the tree lived during the Late Holocene, Meghalayan (4255 - 4083 cal BP). This finding is significant because the tree reta…

Palynology of core 1-AS-20-AM from the Miocene and Quaternary of western Amazonia Open
The western Amazon landscapes evolved during the Neogene–Quaternary in response to the effects of the Andean orogeny and dynamic topography. During the Miocene, sedimentary basins accumulated hundreds of meters of sediments that harbor the…
