Structurally Preserved Permian and Triassic Floras from Antarctica

  • Chapter
Book cover Antarctic Paleobiology

Abstract

The Permian and Triassic floras of Gondwana are known almost exclusively from impression/compression specimens. Generally, Permian floras from the southern hemisphere demonstrate a low diversity and are often poorly preserved as impressions. By comparison, floras of Triassic age display much greater diversity and are often better preserved, some with cuticular remains.The reconstruction of reproductive organs in this group is based almost completely on impression remains. Dictyopteridium has been interpreted by some as representing a three-dimensional cone bearing helically arranged ovules (Surange and Chandra 1975; Rigby 1978); others believe it should more accurately be depicted as a flattened, somewhat fleshy structure with bilateral symmetry (e.g.,Pant 1987).
