272 The Upper Cretaceous Floras of the World 



palcobotanical contributions have been by Hampe, 1 Dunker, 2 Stiehler, 3 



Heer,' Schulze, 5 Lampe, 6 and Kichter. 7 In 1884 Vater ' worked over a 



large collection of petrified woods from the so-called Phosphoritlager von 



Harzburg und der Helmstedter Mulde. These woods are obviously all 



or in part reworked in the Oligocene deposits in which they are found, 



and Vater concluded that they came from the Upper Cretaceous or older 



rocks of the region. Nineteen species were differentiated and these are 



all included in the following list, although in the case of forms like 



Fegonium, Tcenioxylon, etc., their exact age is uncertain. 



There has been considerable discussion regarding the exact correlation 



of these beds with the more fossiliferous horizons of Ehenish Prussia and 



Westphalia. Schulze in 1888 enumerated the following four horizons: 



Ilsenburgmergel 

 Heimburggestein 

 Subhercynischen Senonquader 

 Salzberggestein
