Mosses from Rovno Amber (Ukraine). 5. New Findings and Comparison of Mosses from Rovno and Baltic Amber

详细

Two new species are described from the Late Eocene Rovno amber: Sematophyllites katyae Ignatov and Ignatova sp. nov. and S. rovnoi Ignatov and Ignatova sp. nov., and S. subjulaceum is recorded from a new locality. The spectra of moss families of the Rovno and Baltic amber are compared. A conclusion is made on the general similarity of the growing environment present in the Rovno and Baltic amber forests, where existed suitable conditions for Sphagnum, which grew submerged being heavily covered with diatoms.
