“Parrotia” pristina (Ettingshausen 1851) Stur 1867 with feeding traces.
oilshale posted a fossil in Plants
Taxonomy from GBIF.org. There is a complex literature about this polymorphic species. Similar leaf shapes possess the recent genera Hamamelis L., Fothergilla L., and Parrotia C.A. Meyer, therefore the term "Parrotia" pristina (Ettingshausen) Stur is used. Quote from B. Adroit 2020, p. 4 regarding the feeding traces: ”Currently, the main reference to identify and classify the plant–insect interactions in the fossil record is the ‘Guide to Insect (and Other) Damage Types on Compressed Plant Fossils’. This guide subdivides herbivory traces on leaves into seven functional feeding groups (FFGs): hole feeding, margin feeding, skeletonization, surface feeding, mining, piercing and sucking and galling.” This type of feeding trace was assigned to the damage type DT297. Identified by Dr. B. Androit, Swedish Museum of Natural History. References: Stur, D. (1867).
