Palaeobiogeographic and metric analysis of the Mesozoic fern Weichselia

Eighty-three publications have been examined to recover information on the palaeogeography, the chronostratigraphy and the presence of the fossil fern genus Weichselia Stiehler in different depositional environments. This fossil fern foliage was reported in 72 localities worldwide. Its fossil record...

This fossil fern foliage was reported in 72 localities worldwide. Its fossil record ranges from the Bathonian to the Cenomanian, predominating from the Berriasian to the Barremian, but still common during the Aptian to Cenomanian. Weichselia mostly occurred in continental depositional environments in Europe, whereas it has been mostly related to marginal marine depositional environments in Africa, North America, and India. Three species have been described: W. reticulata, W. peruviana, and W. negevensis. We analyse the measurements on specimens collected from sixteen localities as well as published data from twelve others. Our results suggest that: (i) the climate changes during the Aptian might have affected the pinnule size of Weichselia, as the Aptian-Cenomanian pinnules are larger than those from the Berriasian-Barremian; (ii) some differences might be explained by the metric variation of the frond parts; (iii) there are no clear differences in size between remains collected from different depositional environments; (iv) there is no sufficient evidence to determine how many species of Weichselia have existedCandela Blanco-Moreno is supported by a FPI-UAM Ph.D. scholarship from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Collections in the Université Lyon 1 were studied thanks to a FPI-UAM travel grant provided by the same university. Collections in the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris; Natural History Museum, London; and Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels, were studied with the support of three grants from the SYNTHESYS Project (http://www.synthesys.info/ ), financed by the European Community Research Infrastructure Action under the FP7 Integrating Activities Program. We thank the staff from these three institutions for their assistance when accessing the collections.
