STRUCTURALLY PRESERVED FOSSIL PLANTS FROM ANTARCTICA: II. A PERMIAN MOSS FROM THE TRANSANTARCTIC MOUNTAINS
An anatomically preserved moss from the late Permian of Antarctica is described. The fossils include delicate, unistratose leaves and axes with numerous rhizoids preserved in a silicified peat. Leaves exhibit a multi‐layered midrib of thick‐walled cells, and a lamina of rhomboidal cells that become...
