Fig. 4F.
Material.— Spitsbergen: Wimanfjellet ( VSEGEI 10979-12); Carnian (Upper Triassic).
Description.— One specimen from Wimanfjellet yields a very poorly preserved fern pinna portion (Fig. 4 F) resembling Clathropteris -like foliage. The preserved part is 15× 30 mm in size and has a few lateral veins 4–5 mm apart from each other. Perpendicular veins forming the characteristic Clathropteris meshes are partly visible.
Remarks.— The poor preservation of the specimen does not allow a totally reliable identification of the fossil, but it may be conspecific with the specimens assigned above to cf. Clathropteris obovata . Vasilevskaya (1972) did not mention this specimen.
