Also known as PGAP 13439
Where: Bolivia (16.2° S, 68.9° W: paleocoordinates 28.9° S, 41.8° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
When: Upper Chutani Formation, Kungurian (279.3 - 272.3 Ma)
Environment/lithology:
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: This is a fragmentary flora but is included because of its relatively low latitude for Glossopteris. The Late Permian age assigned by the authors is probably too young for marine deposits in this region. It is likely to be late Lower Permian.
