Revised taxonomy of selected fossil endocarp species in the Menispermaceae using a morphometric approach
TLDR
The ranges of variation within the fossil genera, all morphologically related to horseshoe-shaped endocarps in Menispermaceae, are found not to be greater than that in the only extant species of Sinomenium, S. macrocarpum.
Phytogeographic implications of fossil endocarps of Menispermaceae from the Paleocene of Colombia.
TLDR
The new fossils from Colombia reveal a complex paleobiogeographic history of the recognized clades within Menispermaceae, suggesting a more active exchange among neotropical, paleotropic, North American, and European paleoforests than previously recognized.
First fossil record of Staphylea L. (Staphyleaceae) from North America, and its biogeographic implications
TLDR
According to the paleogeographic distribution of the genus, it is hypothesized that Staphylea originated from western Eurasia no later than the late Oligocene, and arrived in eastern North America most possibly through the North Atlantic land bridges like many other seed plants.
Diversity of Menispermaceae from the Paleocene and Eocene of South China
We present here the earliest known Asian fossil records of the Menispermaceae based on fossil fruits from Paleocene and Eocene localities in South China. A new genus and species, Paleoorbicarpum…
Neogene Corylopsis seeds from eastern Tennessee
A new fossil species of Corylopsis (Hamamelidaceae), C. grisea Quirk & Hermsen sp. nov, based on seeds from the early Pliocene Gray Fossil Site (GFS), eastern Tennessee, USA, is described. The…
New fossil fruits of Carya (Juglandaceae) from the latest Miocene to earliest Pliocene in Tennessee, eastern United States
Fossil fruits including nuts and associated husk valves of a new species of Carya (Juglandaceae) are described from the latest Miocene to earliest Pliocene in northeastern Tennessee, eastern United…
New Eocene fossil fruits and leaves of Menispermaceae from the central Tibetan Plateau and their biogeographic implications
Menispermaceae are a pantropical and temperate family with an extensive fossil record during the Paleogene period, especially in North America and Europe, but with much less evidence from Asia. The…

First Mio-Pliocene salamander fossil assemblage from the southern Appalachians
The Gray Fossil Site (GFS) of northeastern Tennessee has yielded a diverse salamander fossil assemblage for the southern Appalachian Mio-Pliocene. This assemblage includes at least five taxa…

Palaeoskapha sichuanensis gen. et sp. nov. (Menispermaceae) from the Eocene Relu Formation in western Sichuan, West China
TLDR
This fossil widens the distribution of the tribe during Eocene from North America and Europe to Asia, where it was formerly unknown, and indicates a genus different from what was already known to science for this tribe.

Menispermaceae from the Cerrejon Formation, middle to late Paleocene, Colombia.
TLDR
One of the most common leaf morphotypes of the Cerrejón flora (middle-late Paleocene, ca. 60-58 Ma), Guajira, Colombia, that contains one of the oldest records of neotropical rain forest floras is studied, suggesting a possible affinity with the pantropical angiosperm family Menispermaceae.
A SYNOPSIS OF HYPSERPA MIERS (MENISPERMACEAE)
A key to the 8 species of Hypserpa, full synonymy, typification of all names, and geographical distribution of each species are given. Problems of nomenclature and typification are discussed. H.…
Early Tertiary leaves of the Menispermaceae from Nerriga, New South Wales
  • R. Hill
  • Geography, Environmental Science
  • 1989
TLDR
These fossils provide evidence for the presence of the Menispermaceae in Gondwana during the Tertiary and are suggested that M. tomentosum may have been a vine growing among trees on the lakeside at Nerriga.
Evolution of Menispermaceae
The polarity of character states of pollen, leaf, endocarp, seed, perianth, androecium, and gynoecium within the Menispermaceae is established on the basis of maximum correlation of characters.…
Molecular phylogeny of the moonseed family (Menispermaceae): implications for morphological diversification.
TLDR
The phylogeny of the moonseed family (Menispermaceae), a morphologically diverse and poorly known cosmopolitan family of dioecious, primarily climbing plants, is reconstructed and clarified the understanding of morphological diversification within the family.
Fruits and seeds from the Tienen Formation at Dormaal, Palaeocene–Eocene transition in eastern Belgium
Survey of the Menispermaceae endocarps
TLDR
Comparisons with molecular phylogenies show that the differences between endocarps have a phylogenetic significance, to some extent, and a key of the studied genera is proposed.
