New insights into the affinities, autoecology, and habit of the Mesozoic fernWeichselia reticulatabased on the revision of stems from Bernissart (Mons Basin, Belgium)

Abstract: The Mesozoic is a key period in fern evolution, with the rise of most modern families. Weichselia reticulata is a widely distributed Jurassic-Cretaceous fern that has been suggested to belong to the Matoniaceae or possibly the Marattiaceae. The most accepted classic whole-plant reconstruction for this species is based on stem and foliage material from the Barremian-Aptian locality of N egresse (Bernissart, Mons Basin, Belgium). In this work, two of these stems are revised and analysed using computed tomography… Show more

“…Alvin 1974; Watson & Alvin 1996; Blanco‐Moreno et al . 2021). Because of its particular habitat, Weichselia reticulata has been interpreted as allochthonous in the fluvial and lacustrine environments analysed and would not have been related to the aquatic environments where it fossilized.…”

“…Its affinities are, however, still a matter of debate (e.g. Silantieva and Krassilov, 2006; but see Blanco-Moreno et al, 2020). As the soral clusters have not been found in anatomical connection with the rest of the plant (Alvin, 1971;Diez et al, 2005;Silantieva and Krassilov, 2006;Sender et al, 2015) and the architectural similarities could be convergent, in this case, we have preferred to maintain it as incertae sedis.…”

“…e first papers on this subject appeared at the beginning of the twentieth century (e.g., Scott, 1901;Stopes & Fuji, 1911). Recently, owing to modern techniques such as X-ray or computer tomography, anatomical studies have become more popular (e.g., De Beer et al, 2006;Blanco-Moreno et al, 2021;Friis et al, 2011).…”
