A Jordanian scientist refutes scientists' theories about the origin of flowers. Scientist Abbas Haddadin, who discovered Jordanian amber and specializes in its flower and insect contents, dating back 140 million years, the oldest amber in the world, discovered ten different types of flowers and plants in the amber. Haddadin says that flowers first appeared on land, not in water, as scientists say. اضافة اعلان Flowers diversified due to pollination by bees, which appeared on land 140 million years ago. A bee was found in Jordanian amber. He refutes the theory that flowers first appeared in freshwater basins, not on land 130 million years ago, as American scientist David Delcher says. Flowers were covered in water throughout their life cycle and had no roots. Pollination took place underwater without insects. Each flower contained a single seed, male or female, which fell into the water and grew. Contrary to this, Haddadin found a flower with roots in Jordanian amber, as in one of the pictures. The pictures show ten types of plant flowers found in Jordanian amber. Flowers on land under gymnosperm forests in Jordan 140 million years ago. If we look at pictures of these flowers, we find that they resemble the flowers of present-day plants. Scientists say that there are no samples that we can rely on in the study except for a few, but the flower samples in the Jordanian amber at Haddadin have clarified many things about flowering plants and may be the solution.

Scientist Abbas Haddadin discovered 17 plant species in Jordanian Amber dating back 140 million years - Jordan News
Scientist Abbas Haddadin discovered 17 plant species in Jordanian Amber dating back 140 million years When you find more than 17 different plant species discovered by scientist Abbas Haddadin in Jordanian Amber dating back 140 million years, as well as more than ten different types of flowers, three types of seeds, and seven types of fossilized trees discovered in excavations, you know that Jordan was rich in biodiversity. This environment was home to dinosaurs and insects of all kinds, and there was a large river that crossed Jordan, which is located on the continent of Gondwana and lies on the coast of the Tethys Sea. اضافة اعلان The climate was tropical, humid, and rainforest-rich, with a variety of trees, including ferns, sedges, gymnosperm trees, and other angiosperm species. During the Lower Cretaceous period, plants and organisms flourished, creating diversity in the environment and vegetation cover. We learn about climate from plant leaves. In the image of plants, we see a leaf with thorns, indicating a change in climate. We see a leaf other plants have appendages to drain water, indicating a humid climate with abundant rain. There are plants with small leaves, indicating a hot, moderate climate. The climate has changed, as Jordan has gone through four climate types over 140 million years. Most of the plants in the pictures have become extinct, and only what has been preserved for us in Jordanian Amber remains. This climate change has led to the extinction of many plants and animals.

Seeds in Jordanian amber dating back 140 million years - Jordan News
Seeds in Jordanian amber dating back 140 million years. Scientist Abbas Haddadin discovered various seeds in Jordanian amber dating back 140 million years in the Zarqa Sea region, including gymnosperms and angiosperms. The oldest seeds discovered by scientists are fossilized seeds in dinosaur feces dating back 65 million to 200 million years, and fossilized seeds in the stomach of a bird that lived 120 million years ago in China. They then discovered seeds in Myanmar amber dating back 99 million years, seeds in Baltic amber dating back 40 million years, seeds in Dominican amber dating back 25 million years, and seeds in Lebanese amber dating back 130 million years. اضافة اعلان The oldest seeds found in Jordanian amber date back 140 million years. From these seeds, we learned about the diets of living organisms at that time, including reptiles and birds, and learned about the plants that lived in the past, which helped in biological and environmental development and biodiversity at that time. We also learned about the seeds and leaves of various plants found in amber. 140 million years ago, we found in Jordan a diversity of plant cover and that the climate of Jordan is tropical, humid and rainy. This is indicated by the diversity of flowers discovered by the scientist Abbas Haddadin and that Jordan was located on the coast of the Sea of Thetis. The studies conducted by Klaus Bendl and Abbas Haddadin indicated the presence of gymnosperm forests in Jordan and that Jordanian amber is what remains of their gums. In the pictures, there are three types of seeds discovered in Jordanian amber. One of the seeds has a wing from the seeds of gymnosperms that covered Jordan. [email protected]

Dinosaurs lived in Jordan 140 million years ago. - Jordan News
Dinosaurs lived in Jordan 140 million years ago. Different types of dinosaurs lived in Jordan, including reptiles, flying dinosaurs, and marine dinosaurs, as evidenced by fossils recently discovered in Jordan. اضافة اعلان In Jordanian amber, a feather and down dating back 140 million years were discovered. A tooth belonging to a herbivorous dinosaur dating back to the same period was discovered near King Talal Dam by Abbas Haddadin. Another tooth was found in its jaw in the Kho area of Zarqa Governorate. The tooth was 15 cm long and 15 cm in circumference. In an area between Shobak and Petra, dinosaur footprints preserved in rock dating back 95 million years were found. These footprints include three tracks from dinosaur herds. In 1943, a neck bone of a bird dating back 65 million years was discovered in the phosphate area of Russeifa. The vertebrae were 62 cm long. The foot of a giant marine animal, 12 meters long, was discovered called a mammoth marine animal called a mammoth. The foot or flipper was one meter long and 40 cm wide, with seven toe vertebrae, each 10 cm long. This was discovered 20 km south of Qasr al-Kharana. The animal is 65 million years old. Jordan was covered with gymnosperm forests 140 million years ago and had a tropical climate with lots of rain where dinosaurs lived and some of them crossed to Australia, Madagascar, India and Antarctica where they were with Jordan in the continent of Gondwana. Part of Jordan was located on the coast of the Tethys Sea where the lagoons were a source of food for the dinosaurs from fish because of the shallowness of its waters. In the pictures is a dinosaur feather and a tooth that is 140 million years old and another tooth and a fin of a mammoth dinosaur. [email protected]
