The largest pinna fragment (IGR-23247) is 20 mm long and 5 mm wide. The pinnae bear up to 230µm long and up to 165 µm wide alternate, entire, oblong and leathery pinnules. They are attached by a broad base to the rachis and display a rounded apex and an entire margin. The pinnules are slightly inclined forward, forming an angle of 60-70° with the rachis. Adjacent pinnules are not in contact between them, being inserted at 160-190 mm from each other. The main vein of pinnules is straight and ends before the apex. The secondary veins display anastomosing lateral venation forming a polygonal mesh.</p><p>REMARKS</p><p>The gross morphology of pinnules as well as the reticulate venation allow to ascribe these specimens to <i>Weichselia reticulata</i> which is a common fern in the Cretaceous floras from Europe (Blanco-Moreno <i>et al.</i> 2018). In Northern France, <i>W. reticulata</i> was previously reported from the Barremian-Aptian of the Paris Basin (Carpentier 1927, 1929; Deconinck <i>et al.</i> 2021). In Charente-Maritime, this fern was reported from the Cenomanian clay of the Puy-Puy Lagerstätte (Le Diouron 2005).</p>
