Moreau, Jean-David & Néraudeau, Didier, 2023, Amber and plants from the Upper Cretaceous of La Gripperie-Saint-Symphorien (Charente-Maritime, Western France), Comptes Rendus Palevol 22 (20), pp. 455-466 : 462

Morphotype C

( Fig. 5C, D)

MATERIAL. — Two specimens: IGR-23257 ; IGR-23258 .

DESCRIPTION

The morphotype C includes two small fragments of leaves showing serrate margins ( Fig. 5C, D). Although leaves are very fragmented, it seems that they were lobed (see IGR-23258 in Figure 5D). Specimens are up to 3 mm long and up to 1.8 mm wide. The apex and the base are not preserved. Specimens are too fragmented to clearly identify the kind of venation.

REMARKS

These specimens are poorly preserved as adpressions. The Morphotype C differs from all other angiosperm morphotypes in showing serrate margins.
