Abstract
The results of a taxonomic and morphological revision of Mionetta natator (Milne-Edwards, 1867) from the lower Miocene of Western and Central Europe are presented. It is shown that the collections of small ducks from the Saint-Gérand-le-Puy localities (France) do indeed contain a small species of the genus Mionetta, which is here described as Mionetta defossa sp. nov. However, Mionetta natator represents a separate taxon, and is here assigned to the genus Caerulonettion gen. nov., showing morphological similarities with extant Malacorhynchus and fossil Mioquerquedula spp. The first small ducks from the lower Miocene of Kazakhstan are also described (Aral Formation, the Agyspe and Altynshokysu localities; Akzhar Formation, the Golubye Peski locality), tentatively attributed to Mionetta defossa and Mionetta sp. The diversity and relationships of small ducks of the Early and Middle Miocene of Eurasia are discussed.

Abstract
The remains of fossil roots (rhizoliths) of two morphotypes (M1 and M2) are described from Upper Permian deposits near the town of Vyazniki in the east of Vladimir region. In the section, M1 rhizoliths are vertically oriented and represented by several types of preservation: rhizocretions, imprints of the root surface, and root petrifactions. The study of the transverse and longitudinal sections of ferruginized root fragments has shown that the structure of the central conducting bundle (stele) can be of three types. It is observed that the branching areas of the lateral roots are arranged into four rhizostichies, indicating a tetrarchic type of stele for these roots. The discovery of the remains of root systems in an upright position and without any traces of transportation indicate the first stages of primary soil formation. M2 rhizoliths are a network of finely intertwined roots. The new finds of in situ rhizoliths significantly complement our understanding of the Late Permian paleoenvironments and paleoecosystems in the center of the Russian Platform.
