Three New Species of #Fossil Kangaroos Discovered in Australia and New Guinea https://www.sci.news/paleontology/protemnodon-kangaroos-12857.html

Systematics and #palaeobiology of #kangaroos of the late Cenozoic genus Protemnodon (Marsupialia, Macropodidae) https://mapress.com/mt/article/view/megataxa.11.1.1

"The three #NewSpecies belong to the extinct #kangaroo genus #Protemnodon, which were common members of #Cenozoic communities across #Australia and #NewGuinea until their #extinction in the Late #Pleistocene."

The longest term #cryptobiosis is the case of a #Bacillus spore preserved in the abdomen of #bees 🐝 buried in amber for 25 to 40 million years. https://www.scientificeuropean.co.uk/sciences/biology/cryptobiosis-suspension-of-life-over-geological-time-scales-has-significance-for-evolution/
