| A new fossil angiosperm leaf morphotype, "LC-Microphyll trifoliate", from the Late Aptian La Cantera Formation, central western Argentina, is described. The leaf remains occurred at the type section of the formation within a low diversity macrofloral association. Fossils are found mainly as isolated small size leaflets (0.3-1.5 cm long). The leaves are pinnately compound (imparipinnate, trifoliate), the leaflets have pinnately lobed margin, first vein category pinnate, secondary veins craspedodromous opposite to subopposite ending at the apex of lobes and an intramarginal vein. "LC-Microphyll trifoliate" is among the earliest record of leaf remains possibly allied to the eudicots and one of the first evidence of angiosperm with compound leaves. |

| In the southeastern corner of the Isla Grande of Tierra del Fuego, southernmost Argentina, small outcrops representing Late Eocene-Early Oligocene sedimentation in fluvial environments, are referred to the Sloggett Formation. This unit crops out along the shores of Bahía Sloggett, where it is represented by carbonaceous mudstones, sandstones and conglomerates. A new paleofloristic collection of this site, originally reported by Andersson at the beginning of the 20th, was collected and analyzed, revealing the presence of gymnosperm and angiosperm leaves. Conifers are represented by probable Podocarpaceae and the presence of Araucariaceae is confirmed by leaves with preserved anatomy. Angiosperms, although fragmentary, have been grouped in morphotypes, which... |
