Abstract
CASTANEDA-POSADAS, Carlos et al. Taxonomic recognition of two leaves and one flower, included in the Miocene amber of Chiapas, Mexico. TIP [online]. 2018, vol.21, suppl.1, e20180146. Epub Dec 02, 2020. ISSN 1405-888X. https://doi.org/10.22201/fesz.23958723e.2018.0.146.
In this study, the results of the identification of five plant fossils included in amber from Simojovel, Chiapas are shown. The vegetal structures studied correspond to two flowers which belong to the Arecaceae Family; two compound leaves (leaflets) which belong to the Fabaceae Family, and an isolated leaf, which belongs to the Myrtaceae Family. The identification and description of these kinds of structures strengthen the present records on the distribution of these family plants during the Miocene in Chiapas. This study contributes to widen the knowledge of the diversity of vegetal remains included in the amber from Chiapas.
