Abstract

This paper is focused on the characteristics of peltaspermalean pteridosperms from the Lower Permian (Kungurian Stage) of the Mazuevka locality (Kishert District of the Perm Region, Russia). Our research is based on studying the material from the paleobotanical collection stored in the Earth Science Museum at Moscow State University. The peltasperm seed-bearing organ from the Mazuevka locality, which is determined preliminarily in open nomenclature as Peltaspermum sp., is characterized for the first time. The possible entomophily of some representatives of peltaspermalean pteridosperms is suggested.
