Abstract

Fertile fern foliage described as Lophosoria cupulatus sp. nov. contains the distinctive spore Cyatheacidites annulatus. The fossil foliage is morphologically similar to the Early Cretaceous form-genera Gleichenites and Microphyllopteris, whose time and space distribution in Gondwana matches that of the dispersed spore Cyatheacidites. Some of the Cretaceous southern hemisphere material assigned to Gleichenites and Microphyllopteris is probably allied to families such as the Lophosoriaceae rather than the Gleicheniaceae as had been previously supposed. The nearest living relative, Lophosoria quadripinnata, grows within a mean annual temperature range of 8–22° C, and a mean annual precipitation range of 195–1977 mm. The presence of Lophosoria cupulatus at palaeolatitudes of 55–65° S implies that during the Aptian the southern high latitudes were a minimum of 12° C warmer than the present day.
早白垩世的蕨类植物叶子,来自南极洲雪岛的总统头
肥沃的蕨类植物叶子被描述为Lophosoria cupulatus sp. 11 .含有独特的孢子Cyatheacidites annulatus。该叶化石在形态上与早白垩世格雷氏属和微叶状植物属相似,其在冈瓦纳的时空分布与分散的孢子cyatheacidite相吻合。白垩纪南半球一些归属于Gleichenites和Microphyllopteris的材料可能与Lophosoriaceae等科有关,而不是之前认为的Gleicheniaceae。其最接近的现存亲缘植物——四合欢(Lophosoria quadripinnata)生长在8-22°C的年平均温度范围内,年平均降水量范围为195-1977毫米。在55-65°S的古高纬度地区存在着牛皮草,这表明在阿普tian时期,南部高纬度地区的温度至少比现在高12°C。

期刊介绍: Alcheringa : An Australasian Journal of Palaeontology is the official journal of the Australasian Palaeontologists. Alcheringa covers all aspects of palaeontology and its ramifications into the earth and biological sciences, including: Taxonomy- Biostratigraphy- Micropalaeontology- Vertebrate palaeontology- Palaeobotany- Palynology- Palaeobiology- Palaeoanatomy- Palaeoecology- Biostratinomy- Biogeography- Chronobiology- Biogeochemistry- Palichnology. Review articles are welcome, and may be solicited from time to time. Thematic issues are also possible. Emphasis is placed on high quality and informative illustration, in both line drawings and photographs. Papers of general significance may receive preference over those of more local interest.
