Abstract
The Glossopteridales was a distinctive order of gymnospermous seed-plants that occurred widely in the Permian of Gondwana. Some authors have suggested that they may also have occurred in the Triassic and so had survived the catastrophic Permian – Triassic extinction event. This suggestion was mainly based on records from peninsular India such as from the Panchet Formation, which traditionally was regarded as Triassic in age. This paper reviews the evidence for a Triassic age for these floras and it is argued that they are in fact late Permian. There is no clear evidence that the Glossopteridales survived the P/T biotic crisis in India and only unequivocal evidence is in China that they survived into the Triassic.
期刊介绍:
Gondwana Research (GR) is an International Journal aimed to promote high quality research publications on all topics related to solid Earth, particularly with reference to the origin and evolution of continents, continental assemblies and their resources. GR is an "all earth science" journal with no restrictions on geological time, terrane or theme and covers a wide spectrum of topics in geosciences such as geology, geomorphology, palaeontology, structure, petrology, geochemistry, stable isotopes, geochronology, economic geology, exploration geology, engineering geology, geophysics, and environmental geology among other themes, and provides an appropriate forum to integrate studies from different disciplines and different terrains. In addition to regular articles and thematic issues, the journal invites high profile state-of-the-art reviews on thrust area topics for its column, ''GR FOCUS''. Focus articles include short biographies and photographs of the authors. Short articles (within ten printed pages) for rapid publication reporting important discoveries or innovative models of global interest will be considered under the category ''GR LETTERS''.
