Voltziales is an extinct
Late Permian. The earliest "voltzian voltziales" are known from the late Early Permian (Kungurian).[3] Modern conifer lineages emerged from voltzialean ancestors from the Late Permian to Jurassic.[4] Voltzialean conifers outside modern groups such as Krassilovia/Podozamites survived into the Cretaceous, before becoming extinct.[5] The genus Voltzia was named in honour of the French geologist Philippe Louis Voltz
