Batista, Maria Edenilce P.; Kunzmann, Lutz; Bezerra, Francisco Irineudo; Andrade, José Artur F. G. de; Sá, Artur A.; Loiola, Maria Iracema B.Pseudofrenelopsis is a genus of the conifer family Cheirolepidiaceae, whose temporal distribution was restricted to the Early Cretaceous.

In this paper, we describe Pseudofrenelopsis salesii sp. nov. from the Albian Romualdo Formation of the Araripe Basin...
Revealing the diversity of amber source plants from the Early Cretaceous Crato ...

Undescribed cones of uncertain gymnosperm affinity have also been recovered with amber preserved in situ. Here, we provide multiple lines of evidence to determine the botanical affinity of this enigmatic, conspicuous cone type, and to better understand the diversity of amber-source plants p...
