The timing of the origin of angiosperms is a hotly debated topic in plant evolution. Molecular
dating analyses that consistently retrieve pre‐Cretaceous ages for crown‐group …

Abstract The Early Cretaceous palynological successions record one of the earliest waves of
angiosperm radiation in several low-latitude localities, including the Arabian Plate. The …

Dating back to the late Early Cretaceous, the macrofossil record of the iconic lotus family
(Nelumbonaceae) is one of the oldest of flowering plants and suggests that their …

Abstract Premise The Lower Cretaceous Crato Konservat‐Lagerstätte (CKL) preserves a
rich flora that includes early angiosperms from northern Gondwana. From this area, the …

All the major clades of angiosperms have a fossil record that extends back to more than 100
million years ago (Early Cretaceous), mostly in agreement with molecular dating. However …

For the first time, this study describes the dynamics of white rot fungal decay in a petrified
conifer branch with clear araucarian affinity from the late Aptian Crato Lagerstätte (Santana …

Early Cretaceous floras containing angiosperms were described from several geographic
areas, nearly from the Arctic to the Antarctic, and are crucial to understand their evolution …

Abstract Premise The Crato Konservat‐Lagerstätte in Brazil preserves an exceptionally rich
assemblage of plant macrofossils from the Early Cretaceous (late Aptian), including rare …

ABSTRACT Nanjinganthus is an Early Jurassic angiosperm recognized based on the study
of over 200 specimens. However, some other authors have misinterpreted these fossils …

The angiosperm Araripia florifera was originally described based on a fossil specimen
including a few lobed leaves and floral buds. Although nothing was known of the internal …
