Abstract
Plant cuticle compressions and marble-like amber pieces have been extracted in one particular level from the Middle–Upper Valanginian of the Kirkwood Formation (Eastern Cape Province, South Africa). Preliminary cuticular study indicates high plant diversity and may complete previous data published from impressions only. Cretaceous amber is reported for the first time in Africa and corresponds to the oldest, southernmost record from Gondwanaland. To cite this article: B. Gomez et al., C. R. Palevol 1 (2002) 83–87.
