The Collection of Fossil Plants from Perm Deposits of the Urals in the Museum of Karst and Speleology of the Mining Institute of Ural Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

The article provides a brief description of the Permian fossil flora collection stored in the Karst and Speleology Museum of the Mining Institute of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Samples were collected in the Perm region and Tatarstan; they belong to the Kungur and Kazan tiers of the Perm system. The collection is dominated by imprints of peltaspermic and ginkgophytes, which corresponds to their prevalence in the studied locations. Among them are very attractive specimens. Unfortunately, the museum’s display capabilities are limited, and only a small part of the collection is available for inspection.
