Abstract
This is currently the best locality for upper Westphalian D plant fossils in the Radstock Basin, one of the classic areas for studying the palaeobotany of this age. The assemblage includes a diverse range of gymnosperms, ferns, ‘horsetails; and ‘club-mosses’, and reflects the vegetation of the levee-banks within the Late Carboniferous coal-forming swamps. The assemblage belongs to the Dicksonites plueckenetii Subzone (upper Lobatopteris vestita Zone) and can be compared with coeval assemblages from South Wales, the Forest of Dean and the Maritime Provinces of Canada.
