摘要:
Macrofossils of six terrestrial and epiphytic taxa from five families of moss (Musci) occur in Early Pleistocene sediments at Regatta Point, western Tasmania. These are:Ptychomnion aciculareandWeymouthia mollis, which are clearly the same as modern southern Australian species;Echinodium hispidumandThuidiumsp., which are probably modern species; a species ofPapillariathat appears to no longer occur in southeastern Australia; and one unidentified taxon. All are likely to have been species of wet forest or stream sides, and suggest that well-established rainforest occurred locally, at least in riparian areas.
