“…Fontaine and Gafoer (1989) noted that the Palaeozoic faunas of the West Sumatra Block lived in warm waters and that the fossil wood in the Mengkarang Formation had no growth rings and thus grew in the tropical zone (Vozenin-Serra, 1989). The tropical nature and the Cathaysian affinity of the 'Jambi flora' found in the Mengkarang Formation has been confirmed by Booi et al (2008Booi et al ( , 2009.…”

“…The silicified 'fossil forest' with Araucarioxylon has been mentioned and the sediment units which yielded the best preserved fossil plant material are described by Booi et al (2008Booi et al ( , 2009) from the Merangin river and its tributaries. This new material has added to the understanding of the 'Jambi (Djambi) flora', first discovered by Tobler (1922) and described by Gothan (1925, 1935).…”

“…In West Sumatra, Carboniferous‐Permian strata consist mainly of quartz‐wacke, sandstone, and shale, with limestone interlayers. Floras and faunas from the limestone interlayers show warm‐water Cathaysian affinities, resembling those in Indochina and Cathaysia (Booi et al, , ; Crippa et al, ; Ueno et al, ). Accordingly, West Sumatra, possibly connected with West Burma, was considered as part of the Cathaysian margin (e.g., Barber & Crow, ).…”

Detrital Zircons Dismember Sibumasu in East Gondwana

et al. 2018

Sibumasu is inferred to have developed as a united terrane in East Gondwana, with West Sumatra linked to Cathaysia. New detrital zircon U‐Pb and Hf isotopic data from Sumatra, complemented by literature data, challenge the above views. The scarcity of early Neoproterozoic zircons in West Sumatra argues against a direct connection between West Sumatra and Cathaysia. Detrital zircons from East Sumatra exhibit age profiles similar to those of Lhasa, West Burma, and Western Australia, with detritus most probably sourced from Western Australia. By contrast, Sibusima (Sibumasu excluding East Sumatra) shows detrital zircon age patterns resembling those of the South Qiangtang and the Tethyan and High Himalaya terranes, whose detrital materials are most likely derived from northern India. Our observations require disaggregation of Sibumasu and a new configuration of northern East Gondwana in the early Paleozoic, with East Sumatra and West Burma occupying a position outboard the Lhasa terrane along the NW Australian margin and Sibusima situated on the northern Greater Indian margin.

“…Among the numerous extinct gymnosperm clades, the Peltaspermales was a particularly successful and diverse group of seed ferns that existed from the Late Carboniferous until the end of the Triassic (Taylor et al 2006). Although long considered to be a typical Mesozoic group, peltasperms are now reported to have reached their greatest distribution and diversity during the Permian (Gomankov andMeyen 1979, 1986;Kerp 1982Kerp , 1988Poort and Kerp 1990;Naugolnykh and Kerp 1996;Naugolnykh 2001Naugolnykh , 2008DiMichele et al 2005;Booi et al 2009). Thereafter, peltasperms appeared to be significant components mainly of Middle and Late Triassic floras of Eurasia (Harris 1931;Dobruskina 1975Dobruskina , 1988.…”

“…13) The earliest records of the Peltaspermales are found in Pennsylvanian channel-fill and flood basin deposits (Remy 1975;Doubinger et al 1995;Kerp et al 2001;Boyarina 2010) that formed during glacial intervals under seasonally dry conditions (DiMichele et al 2008(DiMichele et al , 2010Falcon-Lang et al 2009). It has therefore been suggested that the early, callipterid peltasperms were meso-to xerophilous plants that had originated in drier extrabasinal lowland settings of the Late Carboniferous paleotropical regions (Kerp et al 2001;DiMichele et al 2005) and then became more dominant and diverse as arid conditions became more widespread in the peri-Tethyan realm during the Permian (DiMichele et al 2005;Booi et al 2009). It appears that the Peltaspermales then spread northward into the cooltemperate Angaran biome, where they eventually formed the dominant, mostly endemic floral elements of the Late Permian high-latitude Tatarina flora (Gomankov and Meyen 1986).…”

A new Triassic seed fern is described on the basis of a large collection of well-preserved plant compressions from the Upper Triassic of Mt. Falla, Queen Alexandra Range, central Transantarctic Mountains. The foliage is simple entire-margined to pinnatifid to partly pinnate and is assigned to Dejerseya lobata (Jones et de Jersey) Herbst emend. nov. Associated with these leaves occur two new reproductive structures. The ovulate organ Matatiella dejerseyi sp. nov. is a lax, conelike structure with primarily shield-shaped megasporophylls that are dissected into three to four narrow lobes, each bearing a single recurved, naked ovule. The pollen organ Townrovia polaris sp. nov. consists of a slender axis arising from a covered reproductive bud, bearing pinnately arranged, stalked, elongate receptacles each with ;20 unilocular, clavate pollen sacs; the pollen is bisaccate nontaeniate with an irregular longitudinal sulcus and coarse saccus endoreticulations, corresponding to the dispersed pollen Falcisporites australis. Similar pollen grains occur in the micropylar canals of seed cuticles of M. dejerseyi. Co-occurrence data indicate that the three taxa are probably different organs from one plant species. This new seed fern is assigned to the Matatiellaceae, which we place into the Peltaspermales because of structural similarities with vegetative and reproductive organs of other peltaspermalean seed ferns. It appears that several Triassic Gondwanan plant fossil taxa of currently uncertain affinities-such as Pachydermophyllum, Linguifolium, Carpolithus mackayi, and Andersonia-may belong to the Matatiellaceae as well. We suggest that the matatiellacean peltasperms were opportunistic, early successional plants that were particularly successful in colonizing stressed wetland environments in polar latitudes during the Triassic.
