{"pk":41791,"title":"Fossil leaves, fruits and seeds of the Late Eocene Teater Road flora near Post, Oregon, USA","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The Teater Road flora, from a small outcrop of lacustrine shale exposed in Late Eocene sediments of the John Day Formation near Post, Oregon, USA, is presented based on abundant, well-preserved leaf and fruit impressions. We recognize 48 genera or morphotypes of leaves and 58 of reproductive structures, with the most abundant representatives including the aquatic fern, \nSalvinia\n, and a variety of angiosperms including Ulmaceae, Fagaceae, Betulaceae, Malvaceae, Simaroubaceae and Sapindaceae (\nKoelreuteria\n, \nAcer\n spp., \nDipteronia\n). The Teater Road flora represents a diverse mixed mesophytic assemblage of interest for comparison with other Late Eocene floras of western North America and with the nearby Oligocene Gray Ranch flora. Analyses of foliar physiognomy give estimates of mean annual temperature of ca. 10.4 °C and mean annual precipitation of ca. 71 cm per year.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0","short_name":"CC BY-NC-SA 4.0","text":"<p><!-- x-tinymce/html --></p>\n<p>Readers are free to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Share</strong> — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format</li>\n<li><strong>Adapt</strong> — remix, transform, and build upon the material<br><br>The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Under the following terms:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Attribution</strong> — You must give appropriate credit , provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made .
