Abstract:
... Three fossil wood specimens are described from the Miocene (early to mid-Burdigalian) part of the Cucaracha Formation of Panama, Central America. The calcareously-permineralised fossils, which contain Teredolites borings, occur in erosive-based pebbly conglomerate lenses, interpreted as tidally-influenced fluvial channel deposits. Detailed investigation of fossil wood anatomy reveals features char ...

Abstract:
... The first Holocene record of the freshwater ascomycete Megalohypha aqua-dulces from the sediment core Kongor (NE Iran) is presented here. Based on the similarity of the spore morphology with the fossil form genus Fusiformisporites, we establish a link between extant and fossil taxa. Comparative analysis of morphological characteristics of fossil spores of Fusiformisporites indicates that several d ...
