“…During the MIRROR cruise (2011), a joint project between Ifremer, the Universities of Brest, El Jadida, and Lisbon, and the German BGR (Bundesanstalt fuer Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe), seven combined wide-angle and multi-channel seismic profiles were acquired on the central Moroccan (Smith and Sandwell, 1997).The West African Coast Magnetic Anomaly (WACMA) is taken from Verhoef et al (1996) and Roeser et al (2002). The position of the salt is taken from Tari et al (2003), Tari and Molnar (2005), and Sahabi et al (2004) and that of the hinge line from Sahabi et al (2004) and Tari and Molnar (2005). The Jurassic carbonate platform is taken from Klitgord and Schouten (1986).…”

International audienceThe structure of the Moroccan and Nova Scotia conjugate rifted margins is of key importance for understanding the Mesozoic break-up and evolution of the northern central Atlantic Ocean basin. Seven combined multichannel reflection (MCS) and wide-angle seismic (OBS) data profiles were acquired along the Atlantic Moroccan margin between the latitudes of 31.5° and 33° N during the MIRROR seismic survey in 2011, in order to image the transition from continental to oceanic crust, to study the variation in crustal structure, and to characterize the crust under the West African Coast Magnetic Anomaly (WACMA).The data were modeled using a forward modeling approach. The final models image crustal thinning from 36 km thickness below the continent to approximately 8 km in the oceanic domain. A 100 km wide zone characterized by rough basement topography and high seismic velocities up to 7.4 km/s in the lower crust is observed westward of the West African Coast Magnetic Anomaly. No basin underlain by continental crust has been imaged in this region, as has been identified north of our study area. Comparison to the conjugate Nova Scotian margin shows a similar continental crustal thickness and layer geometry, and the existence of exhumed and serpentinized upper mantle material on the Canadian side only. The oceanic crustal thickness is lower on the Canadian margin

“…He did not regret to invest money and printed on paper of high quality (folio size 400 × 250 mm). Texts were accompanied with high quality illustrations that were prepared by several painters (e.g., E. A. Auinger, C. Zetter, J. Schmelda, D. Preyssler) and engraved by an experienced J. Sturm in Nuremberg (Cleal et al 2005). Illustrations were done with precision however, e.g., repeated pattern of leaf cushions of Lepidodendron were schematised as seen in the enclosed example (Text-figs 6, 7).…”

This Catalogue is the second revised and expanded edition of the first edition, published in 1997 by J. Kvaček and Straková. The material presented in the original edition was completely nomenclaturally revised and newly photodocumented. This second edition provides as much updated information as it was possible to acquire. The Catalogue includes and reviews new nomenclatural and taxonomic assignments of Sternberg’s type material and taxa published after 1997. It is clear that much of the impulse to conduct this new research came from the first edition of the Catalogue, as the community realized the type material is available for study. In summary, the second edition of the Catalogue comprises specimens that are types of 82 genera, 3 subgenera, 535 species and 14 varieties described by Kaspar Maria Count Sternberg and his collaborators: K. B. Presl and A. C. J. Corda. The type material of 32 genera, 233 species and 5 varieties is housed in the National Museum, Prague. The types of 79 species and 4 varieties have been located in other European museums. The rest of the type specimens are currently missing – destroyed, lost, or of unknown repository. For available specimens, more detailed taxonomic, stratigraphic and geographical information is provided. All cases are noted where names in Sternberg’s works have priority over names currently used, although the current names may be more widely known. Only two nomenclatural acts are published in the present work; they are designations of a lectotypes for Aspleniopteris difformis Sternb. and Cycadites salicifolius C.Presl in Sternberg.

“…T he Rhaetian–Bajocian (Late Triassic – Middle Jurassic) floras from the former coal‐mining districts of Scania in southern Sweden are well known throughout the world owing to their fine preservation (many yielding cuticles) and their crucial role in the establishment of many key fossil genera and species during the ‘Golden Age of Palaeobotany’ (Cleal et al. 2005).…”

The Rhaetian flora of Rögla, northern Scania, Sweden

Rögla is the northernmost locality yielding Mesozoic plant fossils in Scania, southern Sweden, and is one of the northernmost Rhaetian assemblages in Europe. The assemblage consists of over 500 specimens collected 50-60 years ago, of which 139 yielded identifiable plant remains referable to 15 plant species; another 19 specimens are tentatively assigned to four species because of their fragmentary preservation. The flora includes sphenophytes, ferns, cycads, bennettitaleans, seed ferns of uncertain alliance, conifers and some leaf remains that are tentatively assigned to ginkgophytes based on their epidermal anatomy. The species-level composition of the assemblage is consistent with a Rhaetian age and is similar to well-known floras from nearby Höganäs and Bjuv, except for the absence of cycads belonging to Nilssonia, which are very common in most other Scanian floras. The fossil assemblage is interpreted to derive from multistorey vegetation occupying moist habitats on a coastal plain. Strong affinities are evident with the coeval floras of Jameson Land, Greenland, reinforcing the concept of a distinctive North Atlantic floristic sub-province at the close of the Triassic.
