Well, strictly speaking, it's just a cone, the rest of the tree isn't known, and unless it were found in association it would be hard to link them together anyway. It has a taxonomically confusing set of characteristics, somewhere between Araucaria and voltzialeans. That combination is why they've named it Chimaerostrobus ("chimera cone").



Unfortunately it's in an Elsevier journal (one of the worst science publishing profiteers), so it's behind a paywall: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0034666717302543
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.
