C - image of the stratigraphic section where the shale strata are observed. Symbols: 1) Clay, 2) Silt, 3) Very Fine, 4) Fine, 5) Medium, 6) Thick, 7) Very Thick, and 8) Conglomerate.
FIGURE 3. Fossil flora of the Rosario locality, Cualac Formation. A - incomplete leaf of Anomozamites, the diagnostic characters of the genus are observed; B - close-up of a leaflet of the same specimen; C - Cycadolepis cf. C. mexicana, towards the upper right the hairs are observed, D - and E - Zamites diquiyui with subopposite leaflets, in the approach of the leaflets strong and robust veins are observed, some of these veins bifurcate near the base. F-H - Cuticle of Zamites diquiyui . F - epidermal cells with slightly sinuous thick walls; G - butterfly-shaped stoma typical for Bennettitales; H - hooked trichome. Scale in A 2 cm; B 1 cm; C 1 cm; D 5 cm; E 2 cm; F 20 μm; G 10 μm; H 10 μm.
FIGURE 4. Williamsoniella rosarensis sp. nov. A - type specimen CFZr115, hermaphroditic structure where the peduncle is preserved attached to the rest of the structure and is characteristic of the material studied, the arrows point to the microsporophylls (side arrow) surrounding the gynoecium (central arrow). B - paratype CFZCr68, the arrows indicate the opening of the sporophylls (right side) and another flower in abaxial view (left side). C - upper part of specimen CFZCr115 the arrow pointing to the crown sensu Thomas (1915). D - upper part of gynoecium of specimen CFZCr 68. E - Specimen CFZCr82, the arrow upper part points to hair on the margin. F - Peel of peduncle with sting-shaped trichome. G - Peel where it is observed. Oval syndetocheilic stomata in peduncle. Scale in A 2 cm; B 1 cm; C 1 mm; D 1 mm; E 5 mm; F 15 μm; G 10 μm.
