“…This stratigraphical range derives from a specimen consisting of an isotomously branched axis ending in two large, twisted sporangia with spiraling dehiscence slits, which was previously documented from the Lochkovian beds of the Nogueras Formation (Cascales‐Miñana et al . , fig. ).…”

“…To date, this Lower Devonian flora includes several dichotomous branching remains, a putative basal euphyllophyte, Taeniocrada ‐like stems and Hostinella , as well as a high diversity of spore genera ( Ambitisporites , Amicosporites , Aneurospora , Apiculiretusispora , Brochotriletes , Chelinospora , Coronaspora , Cymbosporites , Dibolisporites , Emphanisporites , Gneudnaspora , Iberoespora , Latosporites , Retusotriletes , Scylaspora and Verrucosisporites , among others) (Cascales‐Miñana et al . , , ). The Nogueras Formation ranges from the middle Lochkovian to mid‐Pragian and is formed by three members, from base to top: d2a, d2b and d2c (Carls & Valenzuela‐Ríos ; Dojen et al .…”

A new basal land plant, Teruelia diezii gen. et sp. nov., is described from the shallow‐water marine deposits of the Lower Devonian (Lochkovian–Pragian) Nogueras Formation of the Iberian Peninsula (north Gondwana palaeocontinent). Teruelia is preserved as a compression fossil and consists of isotomously branched, robust stems terminated in large, fusiform, twisted sporangia. This morphology suggests that Teruelia is very probably equivalent to Aglaophyton, a permineralized early polysporangiophyte known up to now only from the Lower Devonian (early Pragian to ?earliest Emsian) Rhynie Chert in Scotland (Laurussia palaeocontinent), which represents an early terrestrial hot‐spring ecosystem. Accepted phylogenies identify Aglaophyton as sister to vascular plants. Our phylogeny‐based results identify the Aglaophyton/Teruelia biological entity (i.e. Aglaophyton anatomical characters plus Teruelia external morphology) as the most direct vascular plant precursor. It shows that at least one Rhynie Chert type plant had a much wider distribution than previously known and suggests that Aglaophyton was not restricted to hydrothermal environments, unlike other Rhynie Chert plants.

“…Taeniocrada-like axes are commonly found in Lower Devonian strata (e.g. Kräusel and Weyland 1930;Stockmans 1940;Kennedy et al 2012;Cascales-Miñana et al 2015). Among well-defined Lower Devonian Taeniocrada species, T. decheniana is characterized by very frequent bifurcations and circinate tips.…”

French Lower Devonian floras are rare, especially compared to certain other Western European countries. In this study, we reassess an assemblage collected in the 1930s in the Rebreuve quarry (Pas-de-Calais, northern France). We describe new features in several taxa and update taxonomic names from original descriptions. For instance, re-examination of vegetative remains previously described as Psilophyton princeps, led to the discovery of fertile structures allowing us to refer these specimens to Sawdonia. In total, this flora consists of ten taxa, including up to four different Psilophyton species, such as P. parvulum. Other taxa include Danziella artesiana, Drepanophycus cf. spinaeformis, Sporogonites exuberans and some specimens of Taeniocrada and Sciadophyton, revealing a diverse Lower Devonian plant assemblage. The Rebreuve assemblage represents a typical Emsian flora from Laurussia and bears striking resemblance with coeval Belgian assemblages. Previous palynological investigations, in addition to the similarities with well-dated Belgian floras, suggest an early Emsian age for this assemblage. The paleogeographical implications of findings are discussed.
