ON THE DISCOVERY OF CYCADOCARPIDlUM AND PODOZAMITES IN SAME SPECIMEN

This paper deals with an important specimen, Podozamites and Cycadocarpidium, found in the same specimen at Ya-an, Sichuan.The specimen was described here as an old species resemble Podozamiles schenkii, which is the characteristic plant in the Upper Triassic. Because its strobile, Cycadocarpidium, was coexisted in the same specimen at the same locality. The specimen was first found in China.The specimen is preserved at coal-bearing bed of Ya-an, Sichuan. The age of this coal-hearing bed is assigned to the Late Triassic.Three strobiles of Cycadocarpidium are clearly preserved in the same specimen.
