Abstract
Cridland, Arthur A. (Ohio State U., Columbus.) A Glossopteris flora from the Ohio Range, Antarctica. Amer. Jour. Bot. 50(2): 186–195. Illus. 1963.—Leaves of Glossopteris indica are the commonest fossils in the Mount Glossopteris Formation on Mount Schopf. Other fossils present are: Glossopteris ampla, G. anguslifolia, G. damudica, G. browniana, detached scales, sporangia of Arberiella containing bisaccate pollen grains, seeds of Samaropsis (principally S. longii), and some obscure fossils. These remains, and associated animal fossils, suggest that the Mount Glossopteris Formation is Permian. The plants evidently grew in a seasonal but favorable climate. These growth conditions indirectly support paleomagnetic calculations which indicate that in Late Permian time, Mount Schopf lay near latitude 50°S.
