Rovno amber fauna: a preliminary report

The conflicting views of Rovno amber being allochthonous, having been transported to the Pripyat area during the Eocene from the north across the sea and thus deriving from the same region as Baltic amber versus suggested local origins within the Ukrainian Crystalline Shield must have been tested by a comparison of inclusions of the Rovno and other ambers. The study of Rovno ants confirms Rovno amber being autochthonous.
