Seto porcelain clay Formation

@Bubblesorg: Miki 1944 is not acceptable as its outdated and a VERY brief search shows it. This paper on page 16 footnote 2 it specifically calls out that Miki transferred the fossils from Sequoia sempervirens Endl to Sequoia couttisie Heer (sic -S. couttsiae) in 1965. After that transfer we have the change in generic placement of "S". couttsiae to become the type species of Quasisequoia as Q. couttsiae (Heer), L. Kunzmann, 1999. All while the fossils themselves have not been reexamined and restudied since at least 1965 if not since Miki's initial work in the early 1940's. Fossil plants are much more convoluted then fossil animals and you have to be VERY diligent with researching before you add statements to articles.--22:59, 24 May 2025 (UTC) Kev min § 22:59, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
