Chimaerostrobus, a new tree from Jurassic Antarctica

[Halichoeres]

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
