Abstract
A few years ago a fossil flora was found in the Wamsutta red beds at South Attleboro, Mass. The fossils, apparently located in the upper part of the formation, include ferns and other plants not previously reported in these beds. They demonstrate that the upper part of the Wamsutta is contemporaneous with the Rhode Island formation, as suggested by Wood-worth. The age of this flora is probably lower Allegheny (Carboniferous).This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
