Macro‐charcoal, as direct evidence of palaeo‐wildfires, is a common constituent throughout an Early Permian (Cisuralian) inertinite‐rich coal seam from the Dhanpuri Coal Mine (Barakar Formation, Sohagpur Coalfield, Madhya Pradesh, India). The continuous presence macro‐charcoal within this particular demonstrates that fires occurred repeatedly in source vegetation seam. Based on these remains, anatomical assessment diversity and taxonomic composition vegetation, which experienced wildfires...
A fossil angiosperm wood from the Touro Passo Formation (Pleistocene) in northwestern part of Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, is described as new fossil-taxon Itaquixylon heterogenum Benicio, Pires, Da Rosa, Spiekermann, Uhl et Jasper gen. nov. sp. The silicified, and 9.9 cm diameter 16.6 length, with small pith. main anatomical features are diffuse porosity, vessels solitary radial multiples, simple perforation plates, alternate vestured intervessel pits, vessel-ray vessel-parenchyma pits...
Distribution and abundance of charcoal in coal seams (in form pyrogenic macerals the inertinites group) have been considered as a reliable tool to interpret local regional palaeo-wildfire regimes peat-forming depositional environments. Although occurrence is globally well documented for Late Palaeozoic, description palaeobotanical evidence concerning source plants such so far largely missing. In present study, we provide first detailed analysis macro-charcoal preserved Barro Branco seam, Rio...
Sedimentary charcoal is widely accepted as a direct indicator for the occurrence of paleo-wildfires and, in Upper Paleozoic sediments Euramerica and Cathaysia, reports on such remains are relatively common (regionally stratigraphically) more or less homogeneously distributed. On contrary, just few reliable records have been published Late Gondwana only recently it has demonstrated that macroscopic charcoals (and thus fires) were also southern continent during this period. The most important...
Abstract Fossil evidence for wildfires, in form of fossil charcoal, is known from a large number Cretaceous localities worldwide and it has repeatedly been argued that wildfires were connected to the evolution radiation angiosperms during this period. The present study provides new (in macro-charcoal) occurrence deposition Lower (pre-Aptian) Malha Formation at Wadi Budra Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. Despite growing Cretaceous, available database pre-Aptian still rather scarce regions when seen on...
