Re: Cretaceous angiosperms request



 
A high school student has to work on Cretaceous angiosperms, especially Populites, Populophyllum and Populoxylon.
He'd need ref's about classification of K angiosperm genera by family, at least Salicaceae, Betulaceae and Fagaceae.
Not that I were a paleobotanist (actually, I rather hate botany), but AFAIK it has recently gone totally out of fashion to refer any K angiosperms to extant families like the 3 you mention. Such referrals have often been made on the basis of overall resemblances in leaf shape and suchlike. Maybe there is no accepted family-"level" classification of K angiosperms at the moment.
