The First Record of Fossil Wood of Winteraceae from the Upper Cretaceous of Antarctica
Fossil wood of the Winteraceae from the Upper Cretaceous sediments of James Ross Island, Antarctic Peninsula, is described here for the first time. The specimen is characterized by the absence of vessels, rays of two distinct sizes and tracheids with one–three rows of circular bordered pits, mainly...
