Phylogenetic diversification of Equisetum (Equisetales) as inferred from Lower Cretaceous species of British Columbia

Stockey, Ruth A., Stanich, Nicholas A., Rothwell, Gar W.
Three types of anatomically preserved vegetative shoots with features that characterize crown group Equisetum have been discovered in Lower Cretaceous deposits ( ≈ 136 Ma) of British Columbia, Canada, suggesting the genus is much older than currently believed. Specimens include two types of...

An apparently exindusiate filicalean fern with radial sori, sporangia with a vertical annulus, and monolete spores occurs in Paleocene sediments ca. 57 million years old of central Alberta, Canada. Specimens are preserved as coalified compressions and show features of frond morphology and...

Little, S. A., Stockey, R. A., Rothwell, G. W.
The discovery of two anatomically preserved rhizomes with attached stipe bases and adventitious roots contributes to our knowledge of filicalean fern diversity and evolution. Specimens are preserved in marine carbonate nodules at the Lower Cretaceous (Valanginian to Hauterivian) Apple Bay...
