Abstract

The Middle Jurassic (Bathonian to Callovian) Kaizara flora is proposed herein for the plant fossil assemblage in the Kaizara Formation, Kuzuryu Subgroup, Tetori Group. In addition to Otozamites crassipinnatus sp. nov., twelve species are reported, including species of Equisetales, uncertain order of pteridosperms, Cycadeoideales, Cycadales, and Coniferales. Some species have very thick lamina, implying that the climate might include dry periods. All species found in the Kaizara flora are new to the Tetori Group. Therefore, the Tetori-type flora is restricted to post-Callovian stages in the Tetori Group.
