Abstract: Burmese amber represents the world’s most diverse biota in the Mesozoic. Previous studies have focused on the biodiversity of its inclusions, as well as pholadid borings. Here we report a variety of marine animals symbiotic with or adhere to Burmese amber or the amber deposits, including crinoid columns, corals and oysters. We propose that there is no distinct evidence indicating the secondary transportation of Burmese amber over long distances. The ancient sedimentary environment was likely located in the coa… Show more

“…The age of Burmese amber, once regarded as Eocene age (CHHIBBER 1934), has been recently established as the earliest Cenomanian (98.79 ± 0.62 Ma) based on U-Pb dating of zircons (SHI et al 2012), which agrees with a general age suggested by GRIMALDI et al (2002) based on key bioinclusions. However, different workers have suggested slightly older ages, either within the late Albian (CRUICKSHANK & KO 2003, ROSS et al 2010, or near the Albian-Cenomanian boundary (RASNITSYN et al 2016, MAO et al 2018. In this paper, the age of Burmese amber is referred to as upper Albian to lower Cenomanian.…”

“…The age of Burmese amber, once widely regarded as of Eocene age (Chhibber 1934), has been recently established as the earliest Cenomanian (98.79 ± 0.62 Ma) based on U-Pb dating of zircons (Shi et al 2012), which agrees with a general age predicted by Grimaldi et al (2002) based on key bioinclusions. Nevertheless, other workers have suggested slightly older ages, either within the late Albian (Cruickshank & Ko 2003;Ross et al 2010) or near the Albian-Cenomanian boundary (Rasnitsyn et al 2016;Mao et al 2018).…”

“…Fossil-bearing amber was collected from the Hukawng Valley in northern Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) with nearly 1200 species described (Ross, 2019 in press). For an overview of the amber deposit and its geological setting see, e.g., Zherikhin and Ross (2000), Grimaldi et al (2002), Cruickshank and Ko (2003), Ross et al (2010), and Mao et al (2018).…”

“…Radiometric U-Pb zircon dating (Shi et al, 2012) constrained this amber to anage of 98.79±0.62 Ma, which is equivalent to the earliest Cenomanian, but Mao et al (2018) considered that due to the limits of this radiometric method, the current given zircon U-Pb SIMS age may be younger than the reality and proposed an age close to the boundary between the Albian and Cenomanian, or even late Albian.…”
