Early cretaceous fossil evidence for angiosperm evolution
Leo J. Hickey,James A. Doyle +1 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of dated pollen floras of other regions indicate that one major subgroup of angiosperms, tricolpate-producing dicots (i.e., excluding Magnoliidae of Takhtajan) originated in the Aptian of Africa-South America at a time of increasing aridity and migrated poleward into Laurasia and Australasia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colonization of Brackish-Water Systems through Time: Evidence from the Trace-Fossil Record
Luis A. Buatois,Murray K. Gingras,James A. MacEachern,M. Gabriela Mángano,John-Paul Zonneveld,S. George Pemberton,Renata Guimarães Netto,Anthony J. Martin +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, trace fossils in estuarine deposits of different ages have been compared to evaluate colonization history of brackish-water ecosystems and to calibrate trace-fossil, brackwater models with respect to geologic time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Angiosperm pollen zonation of the continental Cretaceous of the Atlantic coastal plain and its application to deep wells in the Salisbury embayment
TL;DR: In this paper, an informal zonation of the pre-Magothy continental Cretaceous sediments of the Atlantic Coastal Plain (Potomac Group, Raritan Formation), based primarily on new and previously published studies of angiosperm pollen from two wells near Delaware City, Delaware, and from outcrop samples from Virginia through New Jersey, following lines established by Brenner (1963).
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing palynological abundance and diversity; implications for biotic replacement during the Cretaceous angiosperm radiation
TL;DR: Analysis of an updated and expanded database of North American palynological samples from Cretaceous sediments document a rapid increase in angiosperm diversity and abundance within individual fossil palynofloras (represent- ing local/subregional vegetation).
Journal ArticleDOI
Angiosperm diversification and Cretaceous floristic trends: a comparison of palynofloras and leaf macrofloras
Scott Lidgard,Peter R. Crane +1 more
TL;DR: In the latest Cretaceous, macrofloras and palynofloras both indicate that "pteridophytes," conifers, and other "gymnosperms" are generally less diverse than angiosperms, whereas conifer diversity shows no marked temporal trend.
