A Cooksonia-type flora from the Upper Silurian of the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland

Silurian land plants from the Holy Cross Mts. are described for the first time. The fossil assemblage occurs in a nearshore, marine, terrigenous deposit of Ludlowian/Pridolian age. It contains Cooksonia sp., Cooksonia−related species, and some problematical forms. The flora, which needs further study, is of importance to our understanding of early vascular plants and Late Silurian palaeogeography.
