      abstract     = {Amber, a fossilised resin, became widespread during the
                      Barremian ( ~ 122 Ma), marking the onset of the
                      Cretaceous Resinous Interval (125–72 Ma). While common
                      in the Northern Hemisphere, amber containing terrestrial
                      arthropod inclusions had not previously been reported from
                      the Mesozoic of South America. Here, we report the major
                      occurrence of such amber from the early Albian
                      ( ~ 112 Ma) Hollín Formation in Ecuadorian Napo
                      region. Discovered at the Genoveva quarry, the amber is
                      associated with coeval pollen and plant macrofossils
                      deposited in fluvio-lacustrine environments. Geochemical
                      analyses suggest araucariacean trees as the resin source,
                      while palynological and macrofloral data indicate moderately
                      diverse forests and the earliest known angiosperm leaf
                      assemblage from north-western South America. Arthropods
                      (hexapods and arachnids) representing at least six orders
                      are well preserved. These findings provide direct evidence
                      of a humid, resinous forest ecosystem and its arthropod
                      fauna in equatorial Gondwana during the Cretaceous Resinous
                      Interval.},
