Premise of research. Twenty-one permineralized fossil flowers assignable to Lauraceae from the Eocene Appian Way locality on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, provide important anatomical and morphological data for interpreting evolutionary patterns in this diverse magnoliid family. Methodology. Consecutive anatomical sections were prepared using the cellulose acetate peel technique. Morphology...

PREMISE OF RESEARCH: Anatomically preserved platanaceous inflorescences have been found in rocks of Late
Cretaceous (Coniacian) age at the Eden Main locality on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
METHODOLOGY: Specimens occur in calcium carbonate concretions near the base of the Nanaimo Group
(Comox Formation) and are studied with the cellulose...
