Washington :? An international team of scientists has discovered the oldest record of arthropods?invertebrate animals that include insects, arachnids, and crustaceans?preserved in amber.
The specimens, one fly and two mites found in millimeter-scale droplets of amber from northeastern Italy, are about 100 million years older than any other amber arthropod ever collected.
The group?s findings are said to be helpful in paving the way for a better evolutionary understanding of the most diverse group of organisms in the world.
This finding has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
