M a t e r i a l. A cone from GLA19 (photograph), and three five-needled fascicles of leaves attached to the brachyblast, two from GLAz (MGPT-PU141011, MGPTPU141012) and one from GLA20 (MGPT-PU141095).
Pinus
pollen grains are quite abundant.
R e m a r k s. Five-needled fascicles are typical of the subgenus
Pinus
subgen.
Strobus
. The short cone recovered in a natural cross-section with rather thick scales is more similar to fossil-species of subgen.
Pinus

P
.
hampeana
(UNGER) HEER. Pollen
grains are common and well preserved. There are two main pollen morphotypes:
Pinus
haploxylontype and
Pinus
diploxylon-type. The latter appears to be much more frequent in the pollen assemblage than
Pinus
haploxylon-type.
