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 22 th 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:
