A taxonomic study of Albian ferns from the Partizansk Coal Basin of Primorsky Krai was carried out. The Albian Age was an important stratigraphic milestone, when the Early Cretaceous flora changed to the Late Cretaceous flora. It was revealed that typical Mesozoic Onychiopsis predominated in taphocenoses, and representatives of young and evolutionarily advanced taxa Asplenium, Birisia appeared. The taxonomic composition of ferns in the Albian taphocenoses was almost constant from north to south. The vegetation of the Partizansk Basin occupied the coastal plain during Albian time, which was confirmed by the remains of marine and freshwater mollusks, phytofossils, as well as fish.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
