Plant paleoecology of the Late Devonian Red Hill locality, north-central Pennsylvania, an Archaeopteris-dominated wetland plant community and early tetrapod site.
TL;DR: The Late Devonian Red Hill locality in north-central Pennsylvania contains an Archaeopteris-dominated plant fossil assemblage, a diverse fossil fauna, and an extensive sedimentary sequence ideal for investigating the landscapes and biotic associations of the earliest forest ecosystems.

Silurian-Devonian terrestrial revolution in South China: Taxonomy, diversity, and character evolution of vascular plants in a paleogeographically isolated, low-latitude region
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors studied the evolution of vascular plants during the mid to late Paleozoic and found that the diversity in South China is characterized by a gradual increase from the Pridoli, with great diversification during the Pragian, a gap in the Emsian-Eifelian record, and a moderate increase in the Givetian and Frasnian, followed by a 2-3 times increase in Famennian.

Late Devonian spermatophyte diversity and paleoecology at Red Hill, north-central Pennsylvania, USA
TL;DR: Early spermatophytes have been discovered at Red Hill, a Late Devonian (Famennian) fossil locality in north-central Pennsylvania, USA as mentioned in this paper, which contains an Archaeopteris-dominated flora within an outcrop of the Duncannon Member of the Catskill Formation.

Eocladoxylon (Protopteridium) minutum (Halle) Koidzumi from the Middle Devonian of Yunnan, China: an early Rhacophyton-like plant?
Christopher Mark Berry,Wang Yi +1 more
TL;DR: New specimens of Eocladoxylon (Protopteridium) minutum (Halle) Koidzumi collected from the Middle Devonian Xichong Formation, Yunnan province, China, demonstrate three orders of branching and the sterile branching system and anatomy bear some similarity to the Late Devonian fernlike plant Rhacophyton.

Distribution of anatomically-preserved floras in the Lower Carboniferous in Western Europe
TL;DR: In this article, the composition and preservation of the assemblages, their geological setting and stratigraphical age, using palynology in particular, are presented and compared with the New Albany Shale floras of the U.S.A., Saalfeld and Glatzish-Falkenberg floras from the German Democratic Republic.

Elkinsia gen. nov., a Late Devonian Gymnosperm with Cupulate Ovules
TL;DR: An extensive collection of fossilized ovules, ovulate cupules, and cupuliferous branching systems from late Devonian deposits of eastern West Virginia is described and named Elkinsia polymorpha gen. et sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Palæntological Sequence in the Carboniferous Limestone of the Bristol Area
TL;DR: In this paper, the fossil sequence in the Carboniferous Limestone of the Bristol area, and the possibility of dividing that system into a series of palaeontological zones are discussed.

Characterizing the most primitive seed ferns. I: A reconstruction of Elkinsia polymorpha
Rudolph Serbet,Gar W. Rothwell +1 more
TL;DR: Elkinsia polymorpha is the first seed f Fern to be reconstructed from Devonian sediments and the first preovulate seed fern to be characterized as a plant, and represents an important evolutionary unit for ongoing phylogenetic studies of the origin of seed plants.

A reappraisal of the Dinantian floras at Oxroad Bay, East Lothian, Scotland. 1. Floristics and the development of whole-plant concepts
TL;DR: Within-site stratigraphic distributions are presented for 43 anatomically-preserved organ-species; of these, 12 are new to science, 18 have not previously been recorded at the locality, 21 are illustrated from the locality for the first time and 19 are currently considered endemic.
