Rounded bodies consisting of groups of small rhizome traces (or seeds?) ca. 2 mm in diameter.

D i s c u s s i o n: The true affinities of such fossils have not been verified, although Ettingshausen (1869) agreed with the treatment by Saporta (1865) who believed that they should represent rhizome fragments. In our case these bodies may represent compressed groups of seeds (Pl. 1, fig. 20; Pl. 2, figs 1-3, 9), in contrast with the rhizome fragments treated here as N. polyrrhiza (Pl. 2, figs 6-8).
