Resumo(s)
ABSTRACT: A new Late Pennsylvanian marattialean species, Cyathocarpus felicianoi sp. nov., is described and illustrated from the Douro Carboniferous Basin, northwestern Portugal, from Stephanian C (upper Gzhelian, Upper Pennsylvanian) deposits. The studied fossil material is composed of penultimate and ultimate sterile ‘pecopterid’ frond fragments preserved as adpressions and belongs to the Carlos Teixeira's collection, an invaluable palaeobotanical collection from the Portuguese geological surveys. The description of this new fern fossil-species based on historical palaeobotanical collections, highlights the importance of natural history collections for the advancement of science, especially regarding the knowledge about diversity and richness of marattialean ferns of Euramerican Carboniferous.
