Abstract
A specimen of Araucaria fricii is described from the upper part of the Teplice Formation in the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin. It extends the first occurrence of A. fricii from the mid-Coniacian back to the early Coniacian. Found in the Radovesice locality near Kučlín in the northern part of the Czech Republic, it is characterised by a deltoid cone scale complex with a centrally placed seed. It is compared to the type material of A. fricii from the mid-Coniacian Březno Formation and other European Cretaceous species of Araucaria. The taphonomy and palaeoecology of A. fricii is briefly discussed.
期刊介绍:
Fossil Imprint (formerly Acta Musei Nationalis Pragae, Series B – Historia Naturalis) is an international, open access journal, publishing original papers and reviews of any length from all areas of paleontology and related disciplines, such as palaeoanthropology, biostratigraphy, palynology, and archaeobotany/zoology. All taxonomic groups are treated, including plants, invertebrates, vertebrates, microfossils, and ichnofossils, with a special emphasis on terrestrial and post-Palaeozoic marine biota. We encourage the publication of international meetings as well as special thematic issues. The aim of the journal is to spread the scientific knowledge with no restrictions, and to allow access to it to any interested person. Each article includes information about the date of receiving, accepting and issue.
