Abstract

Cuticular analysis is a valuable method for the identification, classification and correlation of fossil gymnosperm remains. Brief characterizations of cuticles of the major gymnosperm groups occurring in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic of Europe and North America are given with references to relevant publications. The potential use of gymnosperm cuticles for the identification of gymnosperm remains, correlation of their dispersed organs, biostratigraphic, paleoecologic and paleoclimatologic interpretations are briefly discussed
