Numerous plant remains were first found in the Upper Carboniferous of Western slope of the Southern Urals (locality Karantrav). Plant remains are represented by cone and stem lycopsid imprints, and sporadical stem imprints of arthrophytes. A brief stratigraphic characteristic of the studied locality is given. Studied plant assemblage are represented by Lepidodendron ophiurus Brongniart, L. vaselgense Anikeeva et O. Orlova, sp. nov., Lepidodendron. sp., Lepidostrobus tevelevii O. Orlova, Mamontov et Anikeeva, sp. nov., L. ronnaensis Bek et Oplustil, Knorria sp., Calamites sp. и Mesocalamites ramifer (Stur) Hirmer. In-situ microspores of Lycospora-type were discovered in the sporangia of some strobili of genus of Lepidostrobus. Four lycopsid species (two are new) were described.
