“…The suprageneric classification follows Cronquist et al (1966), Smith et al (2006) R e m a r k s. The material documented here is compatible with that described and illustrated by Harris (1980) and Barbacka et al (2016Barbacka et al ( , 2019 as Matonia braunii and by Goeppert (1841), Schenk (1865-1867), Seward (1899), Harris (1931), Hirmer and Hoerhammer (1936) (Klavins et al, 2004).…”

“…The following features of this material confirm that it belongs to Matonia braunii as interpreted by Harris (1980) and Barbacka et al (2016Barbacka et al ( , 2019: pinnae shape, pinnule shape and dimensions, type of venation, size, and sori shape and arrangement. The specimens described here are in the middle range of variability limited by the morphotype margins described as the separate species Phlebopteris braunii and Phlebopteris muensteri.…”

“…The well-known Late Triassic species Phlebopteris smithii (Daugherty) Arnold was described as exindusiate, but the authors (Arnold, 1956;Ash et al, 1982;Litwin, 1985) could not exclude the possibility that indusia were present during the leaves' early ontogenetic stages, since they have at their disposal only mature fertile leaves with well-developed sporangia. New well-preserved material of Matonia braunii from the Niekłań borehole in the Holy Cross Mountains described by Barbacka et al (2016) is also important for several reasons in the present context. First, it confirms Harris's (1980) suggestion that Phlebo pteris braunii and Phlebopteris muensteri are conspecific based on their co-occurrence and indusiate sori details.…”

“…This family is well represented in Early and Middle Jurassic floras of southern Poland (Raciborski, 1894;Pacyna, 2013). The following genera were documented: Matonia R. Brown in Wallich, Matonidium Schenk and Phlebopteris Brongniart (= Laccopteris Presl in Sternberg) (Raciborski, 1891(Raciborski, , 1892(Raciborski, , 1894Makarewiczówna, 1928;Reymanówna, 1963;Barbacka et al, 2010Barbacka et al, , 2014Barbacka et al, , 2016Pacyna, 2013). Published research (Barbacka et al, 2014(Barbacka et al, , 2016 and ongoing work on Matoniaceae from the Polish Mesozoic (Holy Cross Mountains area, Grojec locality) has indicated the need to revise historical specimens, as new data about this family have been amassed in recent years (Van Konijnenburg-van Cittert, 1993;Badihagh and Uhl, 2019;Barbacka et al, 2019;Van Konijnenburg-van Cittert et al, 2020) and there has been progress on taxonomical issues (Harris, 1980;Klavins et al, 2004;Kvaček and Dašková, 2010).…”

“…Modern research on this flora began with the discovery of the Odrowąż (Sołtyków) locality in the 1970s (Reymanówna et al, 1987). Based on these specimens and new material from boreholes, several papers have been published since then (Ziaja, 2006;Barbacka et al, 2010Barbacka et al, , 2014Barbacka et al, , 2016, and new specimens from historical localities such as Gromadzice have been collected recently (Pacyna and Zdebska, 2011;Pacyna et al, 2018). Pacyna (2013) summarised the history of that research and collated a list of recognised taxa.…”

Ferns from the family Matoniaceae are characteristic but not very numerous elements of Early Jurassic floras of the Holy Cross Mountains. Based on historical specimens from the Geological Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences, only partly published by Raciborski and Makarewiczówna, and a new collection gathered recently from the Gromadzice outcrop, two taxa are here recognised: Matonia braunii and Phlebopteris angustiloba, of which only P. angustiloba is rather frequent. Both species are represented by sterile and fertile specimens well comparable with historical and recently published material of these species from Greenland, Germany and Sweden. Specimens referred by Raciborski to Laccopteris elegans (illegitimate name) do not belong to Matoniaceae.

Analyses of coprolites provide important data on animal feeding and food quality, including information on the taxonomy of the biotope. Knowledge of the diet of extinct animals has implications for our understanding of the evolution of various physiological strategies and feeding adaptations. Here we provide the first description of plant remains preserved in coprolites from early Hettangian deposits at Sołtyk ow (Holy Cross Mountains, Poland). The coprolites probably originated from herbivorous sauropodomorphs, ornithischians and large carnivorous theropods, from which tracks are known from the site. Herbivorous coprolite producers fed on the flora growing on a fluvial plain, and the cuticles that remain in the coprolites originated from crowns of gymnospermous trees or shrubs. Coprolites assigned to large predators contained more diverse plant remains, although they also belonged to the gymnosperms. These were probably ingested together with the

Fertile Goeppertella from the Jurassic of Patagonia: mosaic evolution in the Dipteridaceae-Matoniaceae lineage

Background and Aims Goeppertella has been postulated as a monophyletic group, whose precise position within the Gleichenoid families Dipteriaceae and Matoniaceae, remains poorly understood. Previously described Goeppertella specimens are based on frond fragments and its fertile morphology is represented by a few, poorly preserved specimens. We describe a new species based on the largest collection of fertile specimens known to date, and discuss the evolutionary history of the genus based on the additional reproductive characters provided by the fossils described. Methods Plant impressions were collected in Early Jurassic sediments of Patagonia, Argentina. The specimens were described, and silicone rubber casts were developed to examine in detail vegetative and reproductive features. The new species was compared with other Goeppertella species. Finally, a backbone analysis was performed in the context of a previously published combined matrix of Dipteridaceae, using the maximum parsimony criterion. Key Results The new species is described based on a combination of features that have not been previously reported. The vegetative morphology shows affinities with most fossil and extant Dipteriaceae, contrasting with the reproductive morphology which is more comparable with the scarce number of fossil dipteridaceous forms and it is more spread in the sister family, Matoniaceae. The backbone analysis indicates that the position of the new species vary among different positions among Dipteridaceae and Matoniaceae. Additional analyses, discriminating the signal of reproductive and vegetative character, are provided to discuss the base of this uncertainty. Conclusions We consider Goeppertella as a member of the family Dipteridaceae since we interpret most shared features with Matoniaceae as plesiomorphic conditions for the family. In contrast, most shared features with Dipteridaceae represent apomorphies for the group. Thus, Goeppertella would represent an early diverging genus in Dipteridaceae, considering the venation characters as the most important in order to define the family.
