The 22th International Senckenberg Conference with the theme of Planet Earth at the time of Messel has given way to a session dedicated solely to oldest bat fossil. The Messel near Darmstadt, Germany, a city dating from the Middle Eocene (between -45 and 40 Million years), famous for its fossils of bats extremely well preserved. The fossil record identified 3 families who have branched off at the base of the phylogeny of bats: I Archaeonycteridae, and the Paleochiropterigydae Hassianycteridae. These discoveries have been crucial in understanding the initial radiation of bald-s mice during the Eocene. This is why a session was devoted to them showing the major advances in recent years in our knowledge of the origins and dispersal of the group during the Eocene:
The 22th Mkutano wa kimataifa Senckenberg na mandhari ya Sayari ya Dunia wakati wa Messel ametoa njia ya kikao cha kujitolea tu kwa mafuta kongwe bat. Messel karibu Darmstadt, Ujerumani, mji dating kutoka Eocene ya Kati (kati ya -45 na 40 Miaka milioni), maarufu kwa fossils yake ya popo sana zihifadhiwe vizuri. rekodi ya nishati ya kutambuliwa 3 familia ambao matawi mbali katika wigo wa phylogeny ya popo: les Archaeonycteridae, les Paleochiropterigydae et les Hassianycteridae. Haya uvumbuzi kuwa muhimu katika kuelewa mionzi ya awali ya panya bald-s wakati wa Eocene. Hii ni kwa nini kikao alikuwa kujitoa kwao kuonyesha maendeleo makubwa katika miaka ya hivi karibuni katika elimu yetu ya asili na usambazaji wa kundi wakati wa Eocene:
