Mites (Acari, Oribatida, Nanhermannidae) from the Eocene of Patagonia: First Southern Hemisphere Fossil Record in Marine Sediments
Cosmopolitan, abundant, and adapted to nearly all terrestrial environments today, mites are uncommon in the fossil record. Extant diversity of mites is second only to that of insects. With some 50,000 species described, of which nearly 25% are oribatids, their past diversity is not well reflected in...

Mites from Cretaceous ambers are far fewer in number (e.g., Selden et al., 2008 and references therein; Judson & Mąąkol, 2009; Sidorchuk et al., 2015a; Sidorchuk & Behan-Pelletier, 2017; Arillo et al., 2018 and references therein).
