Tetori Plant Group

Japanese: 手取植物群 - てとりしょくぶつぐん
Tetori Plant Group
It is also read as "Tedori". It is a general term for fossil plants found in the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Tetori Group (170 to 96 million years ago), which is widely distributed across Nagano, Gifu, Toyama, Ishikawa and Fukui prefectures. This flora was first studied by HT Geiler in 1877. The specimens used by Geiler were collected by JJ Line from the so-called "Fossil Wall" on the right bank of the Tedori River in Kuwajima, Shiramine Village, Ishikawa County, Ishikawa Prefecture. The Tetori Flora is composed of one species of algae, one species of bryophyte, two species of horsetails, 42 species of ferns, two species of seed ferns, 31 species of cycads, 11 species of ginkgoes, four species of Cecchanowskia, 17 species of cones and two other species, with ferns of the family Acanthaceae, ginkgoes and broad-leaved cones dominating the flora.
