Reworked Miospores in the Upper Paleozoic and Lower Triassic of the Northern Circum-Polar Area and Selected Localities

“…2002) the locality is 20 m long and 5 m high. From the line drawings of the spores by Neuberg (1960) and the photographs of Schulz (1964) there appears to be a close similarity to the specimens of Densoisporites nejburgii illustrated and described by Balme (1970). Mader (1990) believed that D. nejburgii represents the trilete spores of both Pleuromeia sternbergii and Lycomeia rossica.…”

“…2, Figs. 4,6), which although rare, is thought to be characteristic of the Triassic Middle Buntsandstein of the Germanic Basin (Schulz, 1964). The descriptions of V. dubia and C. presellensis are given below, but they illustrate the problems of having to make comparisons based on broad general descriptions published in the early 1960's, and those, with much more detail, published in the late 1970's and early 1980's.…”

“…As pointed out by Mader (1990), given the abundance of D. playfordii, it is surprising that no record of the supposed parent plant Selaginellites polaris exists. The Middle Buntsandstein contains the species Cycloverrutriletes presselensis (Schulz, 1964), although apparently it is rare (Heunisch, 1999;C. Heunisch, pers.…”

“…comm. 2003), and have a limited stratigraphic range in the middle part of the Buntsandstein (Reitz, 1985;Schulz, 1964;Oråowska-Zwolinska, 1985). As is discussed later in the present paper, from the photographic illustration of Schulz (1964, plate 1, fig.…”

“…Schulz (1964), who first described D. nejburgii from the Middle and Upper Buntsandstein of Germany, proposed that the species was comparable to the spores from the cone of the Early Triassic lycopsid Pleuromeia rossica Neuberg 1960. Subsequently, P. rossica was assigned to Lycomeia rossica by Dobruskina (1985).…”
