Identification type:
Determination
Note:
I do not know what this material is, although I do not consider it to be Archdium. It lacks the characteristic innovative branching pattern of the genus Archidium and more specifically, its leaf areolation is quite unlike the type of A. elatum. The costa also seems too narrow at base for this species. It is possibly a Dicranella, but I do not know what species. It is very poor and sterile material and does not warrant detailed study.
