Abstract:: Uncertainties in the age and phylogenetic position of Pinaceae fossils present significant obstacles to our understanding of the timing of diversification in the family. We demonstrate that simultaneous phylogenetic analyses of chloroplastDNA(matK and rbcL) and nonmolecular characters that include both extant genera and a limited number of fossil taxa provide...

Abstract:: Premise of research. The lianoid habit is found in 125 extant plant families and is most diverse and abundant in structurally complex forests, such as tropical forests. A stem with lianoid anatomy is described from Cretaceous sediments of Hornby Island, British Columbia. Methodology. The stem segment, 2.5 cm in diameter...

Abstract:: A fossil seed cone with characters that have been hypothesized as transitional to the origin of crown group gnetophytes has been discovered in Lower Cretaceous deposits on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. This cone, described as Protoephedrites eamesii gen. et sp. nov., provides the first anatomically preserved fossil evidence for...

Abstract:: Reexamination of fossilized plant material from the westernmost Pennsylvanian-age wetland flora in North America reveals that material of Pecopteris oregonensis Arnold represents a filicalean fern frond with annulate sporangia and anatomically preserved vascular tissues of the rachis. The frond, which is redescribed as Senftenbergia oregonensis (Arnold) Hillier et Rothwell comb....

Abstract:: A cylindrical permineralized conifer seed cone has been identified from the Officer Member of the Trowbridge Formation, near Izee, in east-central Oregon. The cone is preserved in a Middle Jurassic (Callovian) marine calcium carbonate concretion, associated with araucarian seed cones, conifer twigs and wood, cycad seeds, fern rachides, and lycopodialean...

Abstract:: Premise of research. A third genus of anatomically preserved conifer seed cones has been recognized from a Late Jurassic deposit in northeastern Scotland. This cone is described as Bancroftiastrobus digitata Rothwell, Mapes, Stockey et Hilton. Methodology. The cone was sectioned with the classic coal ball peel technique and studied and...

Abstract:: Fifty-nine stems of Tetrastichia bupatides, numerous frond segments, and roots from Oxroad Bay, Scotland, have recently been analyzed. They reveal that many characters originally used to describe this species exhibit a wider range of variation than previously suspected. These data suggest that ribs of the protostele are most commonly four...

Abstract:: This study describes a specimen that extends the oldest fossil evidence of Pinus L. to the Early Cretaceous Wealden Formation of Yorkshire, UK (131-129 million years ago), and prompts a critical reevaluation of criteria that are employed to identify crown group genera of Pinaceae from anatomically preserved seed cones. The...

Abstract:: A perithecial ascomycete, Spataporthe taylori gen. et sp. nov., represented by >70 sporocarps is preserved by cellular permineralization in marine carbonate concretions dated at the Valanginian-Hauterivian boundary (Early Cretaceous) from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The spheroid perithecia with lumina 330–470 µm wide and 220–320 µm high are densely distributed...
