Potamogetonaceae fossil fruits from the tertiary of Patagonia, Argentina
The subcosmopolitan and aquatic monocot family Potamogetonaceae Berch. and J. Presl 1823 comprises extant and fossil genera. Its known fossil record is composed mainly of fruit remains, and it comes only from Eocene to Pliocene sediments of the Northern Hemisphere (Europe, Saudi Arabia, and China)....
