Early Jurassic Climate Warming in Eastern Siberia:First Macrofloristic Evidence from Irkutsk Basin,Russia

Numerous new records of Ferganiella,Podozamites,and Schidolepium,including a new species,Ferganiella ivantsovii sp.nov.,are described from the Early Jurassic(Toarcian)Middle Subformation of the Prisayan Formation from the Euro-Sinian paleofloristic region in the Irkutsk Basin,Eastern Siberia,Russia.An analysis of the paleogeographic distribution of Ferganiella and Podozamites shows that both genera were the most diverse and numerous in the East Asian province of the Euro-Sinian region and in the Northern Chinese province of the Siberian region during the Early and Middle Jurassic.These phytochoria were located in the subtropical and temperate subtropical climate zones,which allows us to consider Ferganiella and Podozamites as thermophilic plants,which are important indicators of the Early Toarcian climatic optimum.Their abundance in the Irkutsk Basin thus may indicate Early Toarcian warming;further abundant Schidolepium cones,which produced Araucariacites pollen,typical for Euro-Sinian flora complement the scenario.Thus,the new finds are the first macrofloristic indicators of the Toarcian climatic optimum in the Irkutsk Basin.
