Insect remains preserved as fusain (mineral charcoal) are reported from the Lower Weald Clay (early Cretaceous: Hauterivian) of the English Weald. The ultrastructure, geochemistry and a new species Coleopteron semicrematus sp. nov. are described. Fusainised Coleoptera may represent a bush community prone to wildfire.
