“…Glossopterid gymnosperms were overwhelmingly dominant through much of middle-to high-latitude Gondwana during the Permian (Anderson et al, 1999;McLoughlin, 2001) and were amongst the major casualties of the mass extinction event at the end of that period Vajda & McLoughlin, 2007). Thus far, all records of the glossopterid fructification Karingbalia are restricted to sedimentary basins within eastern Australia that formed along the convergent Panthalassan margin of southeastern Gondwana.…”

Abstract.A new genus, Karingbalia is established to accommodate certain eastern Australian glossopterid fertile organs previously assigned to Ottokaria Zeiller emend. Pant et Nautiyal. Karingbalia differs from Ottokaria mainly by the sub-parallel rather than perpendicular orientation of basal peripheral lobes with respect to the receptacle margin. Moreover, Karingbalia ranges from the Artinskian to Changhsingian, whereas Ottokaria sensu stricto is probably confined to the Cisuralian. Two Karingbalia species are recognized: K. inglisensis McLoughlin comb. nov. from the Lopingian of the Bowen and Sydney basins; and K. nychumensis sp. nov. from Artinskian-lower Kungurian strata on the Georgetown Inlier. Several additional species of Ottokaria from across Gondwana do not conform precisely to the diagnosis of that genus and their taxonomic reappraisal is proposed.

“…The transition between these pulses essentially equates to the global restructuring of plant and insect communities during the end-Permian mass extinction, when insects suffered the loss of about eight orders and a reduction in family-level diversity of >50%, together with dramatic changes in relative diversity (Anderson et al 1999;Labandeira 2005;Erwin 2006). The new records of Early Triassic galls and Middle Triassic ovipositioning scars from the Sydney Basin and Esk Trough represent the earliest records of such structures in Gondwana subsequent to the end-Permian biotic crisis (Labandeira 2006).…”

Abstract. Single, midrib-positioned galls and midrib-flanking oviposition scars are described from four species of Permian glossopterid foliage from Australia and South Africa. Several of these traces have been mistaken previously for glossopterid reproductive organs or fructification detachment scars. A single Early Triassic corystosperm leaf from Australia is reported bearing multiple disc-like galls on both the midrib and pinnules. A Middle Triassic taeniopterid gymnosperm leaf from Australia is described hosting oviposition scars between consecutive secondary veins flanking the midrib. These fossils attest to a much richer record of plant-arthropod interactions in the late Palaeozoic and early Mesozoic of high-latitude Gondwana than previously reported, and indicate that herbivory and reproductive strategies involving galling and foliar ovipositioning were re-established relatively soon after the end-Permian mass extinction event that saw major turnovers in both the flora and insect fauna.

“…However, bennettitalean affinities have not been confirmed for any of these leaves by cuticular details (Pott et al 2010b). Bennettitales died out in most parts of the world by the end of the Cretaceous (Watson and Sincock 1992;Anderson et al 1999; This article is a contribution to the special issue "Jurassic biodiversity and terrestrial environments" et al 2010a, 2014), although at least one taxon appears to have persisted in high-latitude refugia of Tasmania and eastern Australia until the Oligocene .…”
