Coniacian flora of the Sudetes (south-western Poland): Palaeoecological and palaeoclimatic interpretations

Meso–Cenozoic cooling and exhumation history of the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome (Sudetes, NE Bohemian Massif, Central Europe): Insights from apatite fission‐track thermochronometry

“…Subsequent Late Cretaceous tectonics affected the entire NE Bohemian Massif (Ziegler, ; Ziegler & Dèzes, ). Extension within the OSD caused formation of the fault‐bounded UNKG, culminating in increased Late Turonian/Coniacian basin palaeodepth, when the >600‐m‐thick clayey‐marly Lower Idzików beds were deposited (Don & Don, ; Kvaček, Halamski, Svobodová, & Durska, ). The subsequent deposition of Upper Idzików Coniacian (ca.…”

Late Cretaceous (Campanian) leaf and palynoflora from southern Skåne, Sweden

“…A comparison between the studied flora and an older (Coniacian) assemblage from the Sudetes (localities Idzików/Kieslingswalde and Nowy Waliszów/Neuwaltersdorf: Kvaček et al 2015) shows that Korallipteris (earlier described as Microphyllopteris), Debeya, Ettingshausenia, Dryophyllum and Salicites are common to both floras, possibly reflecting similar palaeoecological conditions. Ettingshausenia is characteristic of Late Cretaceous floodplain vegetation (Kvaček & Herman 2004;Greguš & Kvaček 2015).…”

Paleohistology of the Cretaceous resin‐producing conifer Geinitzia reichenbachii using X‐ray synchrotron microtomography

“…This proposal was rejected because “members of the committee were not convinced that the taxonomic questions were sufficiently resolved” (Herendeen, 2011). Nevertheless, Geinitzia Endlicher is still used by several paleobotanists (e.g., Kvaček, 2013; Kvaček et al, 2015; Halamski et al, 2018; Płachno et al, 2018; Yang et al, 2019). It is used here, together with the family name Geinitziaceae, as we are convinced that any reasonable nomenclatural solution cannot reject such a well‐established name and noting that according to Kunzmann (2010), Sedites rabenhorstii and G. reichenbachii are completely different conifers belonging to different families.…”

“…It has a broad stratigraphical and geographical distribution, being reported from the Hauterivian to the Maastrichian. In Europe, the species was reported from many Cretaceous paleobotanical localities in the Czech Republic (Kunzmann, 2010; Halamski and Kvaček, 2016; Halamski et al, 2018), France (Gomez et al, 2004; Néraudeau et al, 2005; Saint‐Martin et al, 2013), Germany (Herman and Kvaček, 2010; Kunzmann, 2010), Hungary (Barale et al, 2002), Italy (Gomez et al, 2002), Poland (Halamski, 2013; Halamski and Kvaček, 2015; Kvaček et al, 2015; Płachno et al, 2018) Romania (Givulescu and Lăcătuşu, 1978; Givulescu et al, 1980 in Herman and Kvaček, 2010), the Netherlands (Bosma et al, 2009) and Ukraine (Halamski, 2013). Geinitzia reichenbachii was also reported from the Cretaceous of the eastern United States (Hollick and Jeffrey, 1909; Penny, 1947; Raubeson and Gensel, 1991).…”

“…More rarely, the genus has also been tentatively reported from the Permian (Meyen, 1997; Gomankov, 2020). Geinitzia has a broad geographical distribution, including America, Asia, and Europe (e.g., Hollick and Jeffrey, 1909; Durante, 1983; Raubeson and Gensel, 1991; Kunzmann, 1999; Burger and Ward, 2016; Yang et al, 2019), but is most abundant in the Cretaceous paleobotanical sites of Europe (e.g., Stockmans, 1946; Němejc and Kvaček, 1975; Barale et al, 2002; Gomez et al, 2002, 2015; Kunzmann et al, 2003; Sender et al, 2008; Bosma et al, 2009; Herman and Kvaček, 2010; Kunzmann, 2010; Halamski, 2013; Kvaček et al, 2015; Halamski and Kvaček, 2015, 2016; Halamski et al, 2018; Płachno et al, 2018). This conifer was clearly a common member of Laurasian floras during the Cretaceous.…”
