258 The Upper Cuetaceous Floras of the Would 



Kotbplctz has described Lithothamnium cenomanicum from these sand- 

 stones. 



The Cenomanian of the Argonne (St. Menehould) has furnished to 

 Fliche l a small but important flora based largely on fruits and petrified 

 wood. The following species are represented: 



Araucaria cretacea Brongniart 2 



Astrocaryopsis saintw-manehildw Fliche (palm fruit) 



Cedroxylon manehildense Fliche 



Cocoopsis ovata Fliche (palm fruit) 



Cocoopsis zeilleri Fliche (palm fruit) 



Laurus colleti Fliche (leaf) 



Mammwites francheti Fliche (seed of Cluisiacew) 



Turanian 



The flora of this stage is represented by the petrified woods from Anjou 

 described by Crie, 3 and by the rather extensive but largely unstudied 

 plants from near Marseilles (Var) discussed by Saporta, 4 Vasseur,* 

 Marion, 6 and Laurent. 7
