Abstract Araucarioxylon Kraus is a widely known fossil‐genus generally applied to woods similar that of the extant Arau‐ cariaceae. However, since 1905, several researchers have pointed out this name an illegitimate junior nomenclatural synonym. At least four generic names are in current use for fossil wood type: Agathoxylon Hartig, , Dadoxylon Endl. and Dammaroxylon J. Schultze‐Motel. This problem inconsistent application compounded by fact type represent wide range plants including basal...
Vegetative plant remains and microsporangiate cones, related to the fossil genera Frenelopsis Classostrobus respectively, were studied in three localities from Lower Cretaceous of Pyrenees Iberian Ranges (Spain). Sterile belong different species: F. Rubiesensis Barale, Ugnaensis sp. nov. Turolensis The male cones ugnaensis C. are associated with two latter species is found connection . Internodes display small hemispherical papillae long conical hairs covering entire cuticle surface, while...
At the beginning of Late Cretaceous, angiosperms already inhabited all environments and overtopped previously gymnosperm-dominated floras, especially in disturbed freshwater-related environments. The aim this paper is to define what fossil plant ecology occurred during early Cretaceous order follow spread angiosperm taxa.Floristic lists localities from Barremian Albian Europe are analysed with Wagner's Parsimony Method.The Method indicates that (a) Barremian, matoniaceous ferns formed a...
The mid-Cretaceous is a period of sudden turnover from gymnosperm to angiosperm-dominated floras. aim was investigate the fossil plant ecology in order follow spread angiosperm taxa. Floristic lists and localities latest Albian-Cenomanian Europe are analysed with Wagner's Parsimony Method, clustering method currently used phylogeny (cladistics). Method points out that (a) gymnosperms dominated brackish water-related environments while angiosperms freshwater-related (e.g. swamps, floodplains,...
Growth rings of Mesozoic fossil woods have often been used for paleoclimatological inferences. Most the studies, however, rest upon uniformitarian deductions based on observation conifers from present boreal temperate realm, whereas warm climates dominated during Mesozoic. We propose a new approach, study distribution growth ring types among 643 samples Jurassic-Cretaceous interval. A clear picture emerges analysis, consistent with what is known other sources. Woods no are encountered in...
Abstract: Eucalyptolaurus depreii gen. et sp. nov. is proposed for angiosperm leaves newly collected from uppermost Albian – lowermost Cenomanian of Charente‐Maritime (western France). They consist simple, narrow, elongate laminas with entire margins and intramarginal veins. The epidermal cells adaxial cuticle shows small, rounded, blunt papillae outward that protrude inward fuse together as rolls along parallel to the margins, while bears brachyparacytic stomatal apparatus exhibit sunken...
A new Jurassic fossiliferous Plattenkalk has been discovered at Monte Fallano (Caserta, Campania, southern Italy). Biostratigraphic analyses indicate a Bajocian/Bathonian age (Middle Jurassic). The fossil assemblage consists of terrestrial plants, invertebrates (bivalves, gastropods, decapod crustaceans, isopods and insect larvae) vertebrates (fishes). This study takes fishes, crustaceans into account, giving systematic, taphonomic palaeoenvironmental considerations. land flora impressions...
Abstract The Jurassic floras of Europe show considerable diversity. To examine the extent this diversity and its possible causes we used multivariate statistical methods (cluster analysis, PCA, NMDS) to compare all significant in Europe. Data were based on 770 taxa from 46 fossiliferous occurrences (25 units) France, Germany, Greenland, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Romania, Scotland, Serbia, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom. Statistical analyses applied at species level genus level,...
Sphenobaiera huangii (Sze) Hsü is typical Early Mesozoic fossil foliage of Ginkgoales in China. It has been recorded from the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic. The cuticular anatomy investigated based on material type locality, Jurassic Hsiangchi Formation, Zigui County, Hubei Province. specimens are similar S. , but contain new information about leaf morphology and anatomy. upper cuticle using light electron microscopy (LM, SEM, TEM). Many features described for first time, including...
