The lower Cenomanian Kachin amber from Myanmar contains a species-rich assemblage of numerous plant and animal fossils, dominated by terrestrial and freshwater species with some marine affinities. The newly described Kachin amber piddock dagger could be an ancestral stem lineage of recent Lignopholas piddocks, which bore into wood and mudstone rocks. Multiple records of freshwater invertebrates in the amber support a paleo-environmental reconstruction suggesting a variety of local freshwater environments.
The lower Cenomanian Kachin amber from Myanmar contains a species-rich assemblage with numerous plant and animal fossils. Terrestrial and, to a lesser degree, freshwater species predominate in this assemblage, while a few taxa with marine affinities were also discovered, e.g. isopods, ammonites, and piddocks. Here, we describe the Kachin amber piddock dagger Palaeolignopholas kachinensis gen. & sp. nov. It appears to be an ancestral stem lineage of the recent Lignopholas piddocks, which are estuarine to freshwater bivalves, boring into wood and mudstone rocks. Frequent occurrences and high abundance of dagger Palaeolignopholas borings and preserved shells in the Kachin amber could indicate that the resin-producing forest was partly situated near a downstream (estuarine to freshwater) section of a river. Multiple records of freshwater invertebrates (caddisflies, mayflies, stoneflies, odonates, and chironomids) in this amber could also manifest in favor of our paleo-environmental reconstruction, although a variety of local freshwater environments is known to occur in coastal settings.
