The fossil‐genus Lepidodendron is normally used for adpressions, casts and moulds of Palaeozoic arborescent lycophyte stems, but it has also sometimes been used for anatomically preserved stems and even whole‐plant reconstructions. When used for anatomically preserved fossils, Lepidodendron is usually now restricted to the group of species allied to Lepidodendron hickii, but this results in confusion and potential disruption to the traditional use of the fossil‐genus for non‐anatomically preserved stems. The case is made for separate sets of fossil‐genera for the anatomically and non‐anatomically preserved stems, with the circumscription of Lepidodendron being limited to adpressions, casts and moulds. A new fossil‐genus, Dimicheleodendron gen. nov., is proposed for the lycophyte stem petrifactions typified by Lepidodendron hickii.

化石分类的命名法代表了不同的保存状态:鳞翅目为案例研究

鳞翅目化石属通常用于古生代树状苔藓植物茎的压模,铸模和霉菌,但有时也用于解剖学保存的茎,甚至用于整株重建。当用于解剖保留化石,通常现在仅限于集团结盟的种鳞hickii,但是这会导致混乱和潜在的破坏了传统使用的化石属非解剖保留茎。这种情况是针对解剖学和非解剖学上保留的茎分别有化石属的情况,而鳞翅目的界限仅限于压模,铸模和霉菌。一个新的化石属Dimicheleodendron gen。nov。,被提出用于以Lepidodendron hickii为代表的苔藓植物茎的石化。
