Abstract
Megafloral remains recovered from the Jetty Member and the upper part of the Flagstone Bench Formation, Amery Group include Dicroidium and P agiophyllum. Dicroidium zuberi and D. crassinervis forma stelznerianum occur with Pieruchus dubius and support a Mid to Late Triassic age. A new species of conifer, Pagiophyllum papillatus, is recognized along with an undetermined conifer pollen cone.
