During the Late Pennsylvanian, seasonality and rainfall increased in western Pangea, which led to the expansion of "mixed" floras composed of a combination of wetland and drought-tolerant plants. One notable example is the ...

Plant fossils were collected from nine sites, and noted at several others, in Lucero Arroyo and its immediate tributaries in the Doña Ana Mountains, north of Las Cruces, in southern New Mexico. The strata hosting the plant ...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: The flip-leaved podocarp Retrophyllum has a disjunct extant distribution in South American and Australasian tropical rainforests and a Gondwanic fossil record since the Eocene. Evolutionary, biogeographic, ...

Agathis (Araucariaceae) is a genus of broadleaved conifers that today inhabits lowland to upper montane rainforests of Australasia and Southeast Asia. A previous report showed that the earliest known fossils of the genus, ...

Many plant genera in the tropical West Pacific are survivors from the paleo-rainforests of Gondwana. For example, the oldest fossils of the Malesian and Australasian conifer Agathis (Araucariaceae) come from the early ...

Large-scale geographic heterogeneity in extinction and recovery across the Cretaceous Paleogene boundary, as indicated by preserved insect-damage of fossil leaves in Patagonia and the Western Interior of North America.
