Its chemical composition makes it difficult to match the amber to its producers – it is most similar to the resins produced by flowering plants ; however, there are no flowering plant fossils until the Cretaceous, and they were not common until the Upper Cretaceous.

Similar plant and animal fossils are found around different continent shores, suggesting that they were once joined.

When dealing with evidence about humans, archaeologists and palaeontologists may work together – for example palaeontologists might identify animal or plant fossils around an archaeological site, to discover what the people who lived there ate ; or they might analyze the climate at the time when the site was inhabited by humans.

Thus Huia recurvata is an extinct species of plant, found as fossils in Yunnan, China, whereas Huia masonii is a species of frog found in Java, Indonesia.

It is particularly important for plant fossils.

Their formation can be the result of localized precipitation due to small differences in composition or porosity of the host rock, such as around fossils, inside burrows or around plant roots.

More recently, plant fossils in China and new long-duration sediment records from the South China Sea led to a timing of the monsoon starting 15 – 20 million years ago and linked to early Tibetan uplift.

A GCR site may contain features from several different topic blocks — for example a site may contain strata containing vertebrate fossils, insect fossils and plant fossils and it may also be of importance for stratigraphy.

The fossils include plant and marine life from a prehistoric coral reef that are 386 million-years-old.

Protist fossils are then the main focus of micropaleontology, while plant fossils are the chief focus paleobotany.

Apart from the dramatic fossils of large mammals, the asphalt also preserves very small " microfossils ": wood and plant remnants, rodent bones, insects, mollusks, dust, seeds, leaves, and even pollen grains.

The fossils of ambulocetids are always found in near-shore shallow marine deposits associated with abundant marine plant fossils and littoral molluscs.

Because of the variety of unusual shapes, sizes and compositions, concretions have been interpreted to be dinosaur eggs, animal and plant fossils ( called pseudofossils ), extraterrestrial debris or human artifacts.

However plant fossils are common in the Tongue River sandstone, and many imprints of leaves and fronds have been found and collected by scientists and fossil hunters.

Paleobotany includes the study of terrestrial plant fossils, as well as the study of prehistoric marine photoautotrophs, such as photosynthetic algae, seaweeds or kelp.

Plant fossils can be preserved in a variety of ways, each of which can give different types of information about the original parent plant.

Too many plant officials are all too eager to buy a package program from an insurance company simply because it works for another plant.

But even if that other plant employs the same number of workers and makes the same product, there are other facts to consider.

their classes of animal and plant terms are restricted to generalizations or recurrent parts ( fish, bird, tree, grass, horn, tail, bark, root ).

To be sure, the capital investments in ( or, alternatively, the estimated `` fair values '' of ) the plant and equipment are apportioned among the different classes, as are also the gross revenues received from the sales of the different services.

Thus, during any given year ( A ) if the revenues from the residential service are $7,000,000, ( B ) if the operating expenses imputed to this class of service come to $5,000,000, and ( C ) if the net investment in ( or value of ) the plant and equipment deemed devoted to this service amounts to $30,000,000, the cost analyst will report that residential service, in the aggregate, has yielded a return of $2,000,000 or 6-2/3 per cent.

Just as the suburban factory may be more convenient than the downtown plant to the worker with a car, the trip to the shopping center may seem far easier than to the downtown department store, though both are the same distance from home.

Some caecilians are aquatic but most live underground in burrows in damp soil, in rotten wood and under plant debris.

Peas are an annual plant.

Almost all species have a tight cluster of leaves ( a rosette ), either at the base of the plant or at the end of a more-or-less woody stem ; the leaves are less often produced along the stem.

The leaves form a rosette at the base of the plant, and are alternate, distichous, flat, sessile, simple, linear or lanceolate, and parallel veined, with entire margins.

The name and order Asterales is botanically venerable, dating back to at least 1926 in the Hutchinson system of plant taxonomy when it contained only five families, of which only two are retained in the APG III classification.

Although most extant species of Asteraceae are herbaceous, the examination of the basal members in the family suggests that the common ancestor of the family was an arborescent plant, a tree or shrub, perhaps adapted to dry conditions, radiating from South America.

Most fundamentally, there are two types of plant resin with the potential for fossilization.

The flowers are catkins with elongate male catkins on the same plant as shorter female catkins, often before leaves appear ; they are mainly wind-pollinated, but also visited by bees to a small extent.

Arbor Day ( from the Latin arbor, meaning tree ) is a holiday in which individuals and groups are encouraged to plant and care for trees.

The current use of exchange prefixes for each area code is listed by CNAC ; if an exchange changes from " plant test " to reclaimed or active, any former test numbers with the associated prefix are invalidated.

The dried leaves and twigs of the yerba mate plant ( Ilex paraguariensis ) are placed in a small cup, also called mate, usually made from a gourd, but also from bone or horn.

Chocolate infusions are also popular ( the eating of chocolate is a Spanish influence, although the plant originated in Mesoamerica ).

Neither the crown ( fruit, mescal button ) of the Peyote cactus nor the roots of the plant Mimosa hostilis nor Psilocybe mushrooms themselves are included in Schedule 1, but only their respective principles, mescaline, DMT and psilocin.

If several alkaloids are extracted from one plant then their names often contain suffixes " idine ", " anine ", " aline ", " inine ", etc.

* Aotus ( plant ), one of the plant genera commonly known as golden peas in the family Fabaceae ( bean family ).

The element is not known to be necessary or useful for either plant or animal life.

Some of these are challenging to sequence because they have more than two haploid ( n ) sets of chromosomes, a condition known as polyploidy, common in the plant kingdom.

St. Jerome differed with St. Augustine in his Latin translation of the plant known in Hebrew as קיקיון ( qiyqayown ), using Hedera ( from the Greek, meaning ivy ) over the more common Latin cucurbita from which the related English plant name cucumber is derived.
