The fossil Permian plants from the Vorkuta series, Pechora Coal basin. Recent acquisitions in the collection of the Earth Science Museum at Lomonosov Moscow University

The fossil Permian plants from the locality Vorkuta-1 (outcrop No. 38, left bank of the Vorkuta River nearby the City of Vorkuta opposite the Rudnik settlement) are characterized. The collection is kept at the Earth Science Museum of the Lomonosov Moscow State University. The collection includes equisetophytes Paracalamites decoratus (Eichwald) Zalessky, P. frigidus Neuburg, Paracalamitina cf. striata Zalessky emend. Naug.; Annulina neuburgiana (Radczenko) Neuburg), ferns (Pecopteris anthriscifolia (Goeppert) Zalessky, P. helenaeana Zalessky, P. vorcutana Zalessky, P. cf. leptophylla Bunbury), and leaves of vojnovskyans Rufloria spp. and putative ginkgophytes. Stratigraphically the fossil plants studied originated from the Inta Formation belonged to the Vorkuta Series (the Ufimian Stage of the Biarmian (Middle) subdivision of the Permian System). The collection is of great scientific, expositional and didactic potentiality.
