Cuticular structure of Storgaardia Harris from the Middle Jurassic of Northwest China and its systematic and biogeographical significances
Mesozoic strata are well developed in Huating County, Gansu Province, Northwest China. However, few megafossil plants from this region have been reported in detail and thus the fossil plant diversify is unclear. In this study, the new conifer species Storgaardia gansuensis n. sp. is described based...
