Abstract: PREMISE The Lower Cretaceous Crato Konservat-Lagerstätte (CKL) preserves a rich flora including early angiosperms from northern Gondwana. From this area, the recently described fossil genus Santaniella was interpreted as a ranunculid (presumably Ranunculaceae). However, based… read more here.
