Summary
Abstract: Paleobotanical studies revealed evidence for the in situ formation of Gondwana coals, a previous unrecognised feature. The evidence included the presence of Vertebraria roots in shaly units both within and at the base of major coal seams and the occurrence of upright stumps within coal seams. The extesnively exposed Permain high latitude forest were documented and sampled for paleoclimatic ... View entire text
