“…Podocarpacae, Myrtaceae, Berberidaceae, and Nothofagus are the prevailing morphotaxa in such assemblages (Troncoso, 1991;Troncoso and Romero, 1993;Hinojosa et al, 2015). Palaeoclimate reconstructions from leaf physiognomic analyses (i.e., on the basis of leaf margin and size) indicate that such Mixed Paleofloras, grew under mesotherm climatic conditions, with mean annual temperatures between 15.6°C and 16.2°C, and annual precipitation between 762 and 1149 mm (data for Los Goterones and Matanzas, respectively; Hinojosa and Villagrán, 2005;Hinojosa et al, 2015). A second fossil flora was described at Boca Pupuya, biostratigraphically dated to the transition from Early to Middle Miocene (Troncoso, 1991;Troncoso and Romero, 1993;Encinas, 2006).…”
