Text-fig. 4f , Pl. 1, Fig. 4

M a t e r i a l. 2 specimens, Líšeň-Neklež ( MB84 – MB85 ) .

D e s c r i p t i o n. Incomplete pinnules 9 and 10 mm long, 4 and 5 mm wide, shortly elliptic, acuminate, margin markedly dentate, midribs straight to slightly curved in upper part, secondary veins free, departing at acute angles, bending towards pinnule apex, simple or forked.

R e m a r k s. The fragmentary pinnules resemble fern foliage, due to their specific venation, but the character of the margin makes a more precise determination equivocal.
