Fungal fruiting bodies in the Cullene Formation (Miocene) in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina

An abundant and diverse fungal assemblage was recovered from the Cullen Formation suggesting humid paleoenvironmental conditions. Thirty one different forms of fungal fruiting bodies, mostly belonging to the Microthyriales (Ascomycota), were recognized. Nineteen were assigned to fossil genera, inclu...
