Mexican amber flowers -- General conclusions -- References. 330 $aWhile much attention has been given to animal life in amber, the remains of a variety of plants, including angiosperm flowers, also exist in fossilized resin. Presented here is a pictorial synopsis of 94 flowers that occur in four major amber deposits around the world. These deposits are from Burma (Myanmar), the Baltic area, the Dominican Republic and Mexico, and range in age from the mid-Cretaceous to the mid-Tertiary. The basic features of these flowers are presented and their relationship with existing plant lineages discussed. This work will be of interest to amber enthusiasts, plant taxonomists, plant morphologists, plant ecologists, plant evolutionists and plant paleontologists. 410 0$aFascinating Life Sciences,$x2509-6753 606 $aBotany 606 $aPaleontology 606 $aPlant ecology 606 $aPlants$xEvolution 606 $aPlant Science 606 $aPaleontology 606 $aPlant Ecology 606 $aPlant Evolution 606 $aAmbre$2thub 606 $aFòssils$2thub 606 $aAngiospermes$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aBotany. 615 0$aPaleontology. 615 0$aPlant ecology. 615 0$aPlants$xEvolution. 615 14$aPlant Science. 615 24$aPaleontology. 615 24$aPlant Ecology. 615 24$aPlant Evolution. 615 7$aAmbre 615 7$aFòssils 615 7$aAngiospermes 676 $a561.2 676 $a561 700 $aPoinar$b George$085040 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910586635303321 996 $aFlowers in Amber$92905944 997 $aUNINA
