摘要: 化石采自浙江天台嵊县组.该地层含丰富被子植物压型化石及少量裸子植物化石.利用叶结构分析法, 依据叶脉、叶尖、叶基等稳定性特征, 对一种樟科植物化石的宏观形态进行了详细的研究; 结合表皮特征分析, 发现该化石与现生Cinnamomum bejolghota(Buch-Ham.)Sweet在叶形、叶脉特征以及表皮脉络细胞特征、气孔器类型和毛基特征等方面均很相似, 因而将当前化石定名为Cinnamomum cf. bejolghota(钝叶桂相似种).通过分析化石钝叶桂的角质层微细构造特征, 结合现生钝叶桂的分布范围和生存环境恢复了浙东地区中新世的古气候和古环境特征, 推测当时的气候比现在更为炎热多雨, 同时认为钝叶桂从中新世至今有南迁的趋势.Abstract: Leaf fossils are collected for this study from the Shengxian Formation in Tiantai, Zhejiang Province. There are abundant compressed angiosperm fossils and a few gymnosperm fossils in the Shengxian Formation. Based on steady macromorphology of leaf including the base, the apex, the vein and so on, one species of Lauraceae plant fossils is studied in detail by analyzing the leaf architecture and cuticle characteristics in this paper. The fossil leaves and living Cinnamomum bejolghota (Buch-Ham.) Sweet are found sharing resemblance on the leaf shape, leaf vein, vein cell, stomata type and the features of trichomes. So the fossil leaves are identified as Cinnamomum bejolghota. Based on cuticle characteristics of fossil leaves and the distribution area and survival environment of living Cinnamomum bejolghota, we come to the following conclusions on the paleoclimate and paleoenviroment in eastern Zhejiang, that it was hotter and moister than present, and the distribution area of Cinnamomum bejolghota moved southward from Miocene.
