Abstract
A new early Permian Medullosa (Pteridospermatophyta) is described based on a moderately well-preserved sample from Xishan Area in Beijing, North China. Callipteris seshufenensis Chen sp. nov. represents the first record of genus Callipteris in the early Permian period in Beijing region. Callipteris seshufenensis has a remarkable morphology characterized by a narrow midvein with distinct transverse stripes, small pinnules with 2–3 lateral branches directly connected with pinna-rachis except for the rounded-obtuse apex of pinnule and costule divided more than three times (sometimes more than five times). Together with coeval callipterid fossils recorded from the North China plate and the Siberian plate, the present discovery suggests that the migration route of callipterids in China extended from West China to Northeast China.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
