D e s c r i p t i o n. Three entire-margined leaf impressions of obovate shape. Specimens are approximately 100 mm long and 30 mm wide. Their base is narrow and longitudinally cuneate. Apical part is rounded, with a suggested incision (MMT(M)/G_492, Pl. 20, Fig. 4). Leaves are shortly petiolated (GBA_14, Pl. 20, Fig. 2 and MMT(M)/G_489, Pl. 20, Fig. 3). Petiole continues as relatively robust midvein, narrowing towards apex.
D i s c u s s i o n. Dicotylophyllum sp. 3 differs from D. macrophyllum , Dicotylophyllum sp. 1 , Dicotyllophyllum sp. 2 and Dicotyllophyllum sp. 4 in having obovate shape of leaf lamina and round apex with suggested incision.
