The article presents a study on the first termites in Early Cretaceous amber from Canada and Spain. The researchers observed the new genus and species Morazatermes krishnai and the second termite species Cantabritermes simplex, which were preserved in fossiliferous resin from Moraza, Burgos Province. They observed a termite in Late Cretaceous amber that was taken from Grassy Lake near Medicine Hat in Alberta, which was described from a fragmentary imago lacking wings. They also used a Nikon D70 camera to photograph the specimens and established measurements with the help of a Leica IM1000 image manager.
