A multiscale approach combining phase-contrast X-ray micro-and nanotomography is
applied for imaging a Cretaceous fossil inflorescence in the resolution range from 0.75 μm to …

The pollen and orbicule morphology of the Korean Piperales (Aristolochia, Asarum,
Houttuynia, Piper, and Saururus) were investigated via scanning electron microscopy …

• Premise of the study: As an alternative to conventional thin‐sectioning, which destroys
fossil material, high‐resolution X‐ray computed tomography (also called microtomography …

Deposits containing silica-rich nodules were recently collected from the Font-de-Benon
quarry, between Archingeay and Les Nouillers, Charente-Maritime, western France …

Investigations of the Middle Eocene Princeton Chert reveal evidence for the connection of
lauraceous flowers to fruits through a developmental series. Youngest fruits are found with …

Here, we report flint nodules bearing fossil plant inclusions from the early Cenomanian of
the Font-de-Benon sand quarry, between the villages of Archingeay and Les Nouillers …

Background The Saururaceae, a very small family of Piperales comprising only six species
in four genera, have a relatively scanty fossil record outside of Europe. The phylogenetic …

The Eocene (~ 48.7 Ma, Ypresian–Lutetian) Princeton Chert of British Columbia, Canada,
has long been recognized as a significant paleobotanical locality, and a diverse …

Tissues of the extinct aquatic or emergent angiosperm, Eorhiza arnoldii incertae sedis, were
extensively colonized by microfungi, and in this study we report the presence of several …

The fine details of pollen grains in Saururaceae have, until now, been relatively obscure and
incomplete. The recent discovery of fossil saururaceous pollen led us to examine the six …
