“…The Las Flores locality, where two specimens of Lacinipetalum were found, is similarly angiosperm-dominated with rare conifers and ferns, but so far it has received little attention ( Donovan et al , 2016 ). Other lineages identified from various Salamanca Formation and other Palaeocene localities in Patagonia include Cheirolepidiaceae ( Barreda et al , 2012 ), Podocarpaceae, Cupressaceae ( Ruiz et al , 2017 ), cycads ( Petriella, 1972 ), ferns and lycophytes ( Archangelsky, 1973 ), Arecaceae ( Romero, 1968 ; Petriella, 1972 ; Archangelsky, 1973 ; Futey et al , 2012 ), Rhamnaceae ( Jud et al , 2017 ), Myrtaceae ( Ragonese, 1980 ), Boraginaceae ( Brea and Zucol, 2006 ), Elaeocarpaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Rutaceae and Cunoniaceae ( Weinmannioxylon species) ( Petriella, 1972 ). Together, these occurrences demonstrate that the flora included tropical and southern-wet forest elements; the biome probably resembled the temperate forests of Eastern Australia, where Schizomeria and Ceratopetalum are native today.…”
