How deep is the conflict between molecular and fossil evidence on the age of angiosperms? [PDF]
, 2019 The timing of the origin of angiosperms is a hotly debated topic in plant evolution. Molecular dating analyses that consistently retrieve pre-Cretaceous ages for crown-group angiosperms have eroded confidence in the fossil record, which indicates a ...
