Journal ArticleDOI
Elucidating the affinities and habitat of ancient, widespread Cyperaceae: Volkeria messelensis gen. et sp. nov., a fossil mapanioid sedge from the Eocene of Europe.
Selena Y. Smith,Margaret E. Collinson,David A. Simpson,Paula J. Rudall,Federica Marone,Marco Stampanoni,Marco Stampanoni +6 more
TL;DR: Exceptionally preserved sedge fossils from the Middle Eocene of Messel, Germany yield more characters for identification, including infructescence and pollen that suggest that early sedges occupied a similar habitat, unlike many modern sedges, and were not precursors to open grassland vegetation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Charring of woods by volcanic processes: An example from the Taupo ignimbrite, New Zealand
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used light, scanning electron and reflectance microscopy to determine their systematic affinity (angiosperm or conifer), degree of charring and reflectances values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and contemporaneous megaspores from the Tertiary of southern England: indicators of sedimentary provenance and ancient vegetation
TL;DR: In this article, an assemblage of numerous Westphalian and Lower Cretaceous forms from a single horizon in the Thanet and Reading Beds (upper Palaeocene) of southern England is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taphonomy of the early Miocene flora, Hiwegi Formation, Rusinga Island, Kenya
TL;DR: The vegetation represented is a deciduous broad-leaved woodland with continuous canopy, with trees, shrubs, lianas, and climbers, reminiscent of the structure of the modern vegetation in the steep-sided protected valleys in the Laetoli-Endulen area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is small beautiful? A review of the advantages and limitations of using small mammal teeth and the direct laser fluorination analysis technique in the isotope reconstruction of past continental climate change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the advantages and limitations of using small mammal teeth in palaeoclimate reconstruction studies, including the problems associated with the intake of 18 O enriched water from plant food and from small water bodies fractionated as a result of evaporation.
