A 140-Million-Year-Old Scorpion was discovered in Jordanian Amber - Jordan News
A 140-Million-Year-Old Scorpion was discovered in Jordanian Amber Scientist Abbas Haddadin discovered a 140-million-year-old scorpion in Jordanian amber. In another fragment, he discovered a scorpion's stinger of the same age. Scorpions were among the first animals to live on Earth 337 million years ago. اضافة اعلان The scorpion that was found in Jordanian amber is the oldest scorpion in the world, as its presence in Jordanian amber has been documented since that date. The discovery of the scorpion in Jordanian amber provides valuable information about the evolution of scorpions and their geological history. The first picture shows the Jordanian scorpion in amber, and the second picture shows the scorpion's stinger in amber containing the poison [email protected]

An extinct insect that lived in Jordan 140 million years ago - Jordan News
Scientist Abbas Haddadin discovered the Aethiocarenus burmanicus insect, which he found it in Jordanian amber, dating back 140 million years. This insect was found in Myanmar amber, which is 100 million years old. اضافة اعلان The insect has a triangular head and two large eyes. It lived during the time of the dinosaurs. Two scientists, George Poyner and Brown, wrote about the Myanmar insect in 2016 and said that it is an extinct insect. The picture shows the discovered insect. [email protected]

A 140-million-year-old stinging insect discovered in Jordanian amber - Jordan News
Scientist Abbas Haddadin discovered a Ceratopogonidae insect in Jordanian amber dating back 140 million years. This stinging insect sucks the blood of dinosaurs and birds at the time, especially females, to extract proteins from the blood to produce eggs. Males live on pollen and flower nectar. Females transmit viruses that cause diseases, which some scientists say contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs. اضافة اعلان This insect lives in humid or aquatic places, among algae, and in moist soil, including sandy soil. The oldest record of this insect is in Jordanian amber, dating back 140 million years. Pictured is the stinging Ceratopogonidae insect in Jordanian amber. [email protected]

Scientist Abbas Haddadin discovered 17 plant species in Jordanian Amber dating back 140 million years - Jordan News
Scientist Abbas Haddadin discovered 17 plant species in Jordanian Amber dating back 140 million years When you find more than 17 different plant species discovered by scientist Abbas Haddadin in Jordanian Amber dating back 140 million years, as well as more than ten different types of flowers, three types of seeds, and seven types of fossilized trees discovered in excavations, you know that Jordan was rich in biodiversity. This environment was home to dinosaurs and insects of all kinds, and there was a large river that crossed Jordan, which is located on the continent of Gondwana and lies on the coast of the Tethys Sea. اضافة اعلان The climate was tropical, humid, and rainforest-rich, with a variety of trees, including ferns, sedges, gymnosperm trees, and other angiosperm species. During the Lower Cretaceous period, plants and organisms flourished, creating diversity in the environment and vegetation cover. We learn about climate from plant leaves. In the image of plants, we see a leaf with thorns, indicating a change in climate. We see a leaf other plants have appendages to drain water, indicating a humid climate with abundant rain. There are plants with small leaves, indicating a hot, moderate climate. The climate has changed, as Jordan has gone through four climate types over 140 million years. Most of the plants in the pictures have become extinct, and only what has been preserved for us in Jordanian Amber remains. This climate change has led to the extinction of many plants and animals.

Seeds in Jordanian amber dating back 140 million years - Jordan News
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]
