Abstract

The Triassic paleoflora of cerro Cacheuta, Mendoza Province, Argentina. Bryopsida, Lycopsida, Sphenopsida, Filicopsida and Gymnospermopsida (Corystospermales and Peltaspermales).

The systematic study of the paleoflora found in these localities is presented in this paper. Bryopsida, Lycopsida, Sphenopsida, Filicopsida and Gymnospermopsida (Corystospermales y Peltaspermales) are analized in this first contribution.
