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]
