NOTE: The word "type" following a family, genus, or species designation
indicates that the ancient botanical specimen is similar to the taxon named,
but that other taxa in the area may also have similar-looking parts. a Zea mays cob fragments, cob segments, cupules, stalk segments, and stems (culms) are considered here to be the remains of fuel. |
