A Flower Preserved in Jordanian Amber with Pollen Grains

A flower preserved in Jordanian amber dated to approximately 140 million years (Early Cretaceous) bears visible pollen grains, providing direct evidence for the early presence and reproductive activity of angiosperms, the exceptional preservation of both the flower and pollen within amber indicates that pollination processes were already established at this early stage, most likely involving insects, which are abundantly documented in Jordanian amber. اضافة اعلان

This finding also reflects a warm, humid paleoenvironment favourable to flowering plants and highlights the global scientific significance of Jordanian amber as a key archive for understanding early plant evolution and terrestrial ecosystems.
