Triassic plants and their relationships with the volcanism in the Agua de la Zorra Formation, Mendoza Province, Argentina
Fosssil plants were recovered from the upper levels of the Triassic Agua de la Zorra Formation, Cuyo Basin, Mendoza Province, Argentina. The formation represents a fluvio-lacustrine environment affected by volcanism. The plant assemblage is dominated by Corystospermales (Dicroidium, Johnstonia and X...
