1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Porana oeningen, the Fossilized Morning Glory Flower from the Miocene Tortonian Rocks of Oeningen, Germany 2.. This photograph showcases a remarkable fossil discovery - the Porana oeningen, a fossilized flower belonging to the Morning Glory family (Convolvulaceae) from the late Miocene Tortonian rocks of Oeningen, Baden, Germany. Dating back to approximately 11.6 million years ago, this ancient bloom offers a unique window into the prehistoric world of angiosperms, specifically the Eudicots and the Asterids, during the Cenozoic Era. The Porana oeningen is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the flora that thrived during the Tertiary period. Its petals, reminiscent of the modern-day bindweed or Ipomoea, reveal the striking similarities between ancient and contemporary plant life. This fossilized flower is part of the extensive Van Breda Collection, which preserves a wealth of botanical history. The Porana oeningen's discovery in Europe adds to our understanding of the global distribution and evolution of the Convolvulaceae family during the Phanerozoic Con, a period marked by the presence of abundant fossilized remains. This fossilized flower serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity that existed millions of years ago, providing valuable insights into the origins and development of the Magnoliophyta, or flowering plants. In this image, we can appreciate the delicate details of the Porana oeningen's petals, which showcase the intricate vein structures and cellular patterns that are characteristic of angiosperms. This fossilized flower not only captivates our senses with its ethereal beauty but also provides invaluable information about the evolutionary history of the Morning Glory family and the broader plant kingdom.
