Taxonomy from Makarkin 2016. From Makarkin 2016, p, 127: "Derivation of name. From the Greek paradoxos [παράδοξος], paradoxical, strange, and Sisyra, a genus-group name of the family, referring to its mouthparts, which are unlike those of other sisyrids. Gender feminine. Diagnosis. May be easily distinguished from all other known genera of Sisyridae by a combination of the following character states: enormously long siphonate mouthparts likely lacking mandibles [mandibulate mouthparts in other sisyrids]; several setiferous calluses on head, pronotum present [absent in other sisyrids]; ve

A calcite river, that is. Here are two burmite pieces that have a vein of calcite running through the arthropod inclusion. In this millipede sample, the calcite seems to have run along part of the dorsal edge of the animal, displacing it downwards. It is best seen in the images from within the millipede exoskeleton. The calcite flow was influenced by the tissue of the previously deposited inclusion. I thought it interesting that the process of cracking and calcite infiltration and solidification does minimal damage to the older tissue.

I thought TFF-ers might be interested in seeing the environment and mines where cretaceous burmite inclusions come from. No specific identifying information on these sites were provided. Burmite can be found at the surface and deep inside the mines.

What is this thing? It appears to be some vegetation or a tail of some sort. Could anyone help identify it?

Cretaceous Burmite Dipteran stuck in amber just after Eclosion
Biotalker posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
This dipteran became stuck in amber approximately 100mya just after eclosing (coming out from its pupal case as a new adult). The shape of the wing indicates it was in the process of unfurling and therefore never took flight. -
Taxonomy according to GBIF Smarididae are large predatory mites with long oval bodies that are clearly pointed at the front. The (recent) predatory mites are usually red in color and densely hairy with slender, sometimes very long legs. They have either one or two pairs of eyes. Identified by Dr. J. Dunlop (Museum für Naturkunde, Leibniz Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Science in Berlin, Germany) and Dr. J. Makol (Department of Invertebrate Systematics and Ecology, Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Poland) as Smarididae indet. References: Dunlo

The wing tips and the terminalia are not completely preserved, a 100% sure determination is probably not possible. An assignment into the affinity of P. aphoe (hence P. cf. aphoe) seems nevertheless possible. Taxonomy from fossilworks.org. Diagnosis for the genus Phlobotomites in Stebner et al. 2015, p. 18: "Eyes without eye bridge; mouthparts well developed; first flagellomere long; last palpomere shorter or equal to the preceding one; wing with a broad distal half and broadly rounded tip; Rs four branched; R2 and R3 separated; origin of R4 apical to origin of R5; male terminalia ph

Hi all Im looking for advice for resources for identifying Insect and plant inclusions in burmite, or similar aged amber. I am open to purchasing or using online resources. They originated in Hkamti and Tanai , Kachin, Burma.. Ive got about 25 pieces that Id love to work on, and my google-fu Has been been failing to turn up much, although I have some plans to do some more generic insect family studies. Ive got a usb microscope for taking close ups, and will eventually learn how to stack images for better quality. In case anyone's worrying the pieces passed the Electrostatic and saltwater tests

Diplopoda (Millipede) in Amber Burma Cretaceous Period (95 to 100 million years ago) This piece measures 15 mm long by 15 mm wide by 4 mm thick. Millipede is 8 mm. Millipedes are a group of arthropods that are characterised by having two pairs of jointed legs on most body segments; they are known scientifically as the class Diplopoda, the name being derived from this feature. Each double-legged segment is a result of two single segments fused together. Most millipedes have very elongated cylindrical or flattened bodies with more than 20 segments, while pill millipedes are shorter a -
