Wattieza was a genus of prehistoric trees that existed in the mid-Devonian that belong to the cladoxylopsids, close relatives of the modern ferns and horsetails.

The 2005 discovery (publicly revealed in 2007) in Schoharie County, New York, of fossils from the Middle Devonian about 385 million years ago united the crown of Wattieza to a root and trunk known since 1870.

[1] Belgian paleobotanist François Stockmans described the species Wattieza givetiana in 1968 from fossil fronds collected from Middle Devonian strata in the London-Brabant Massif in Belgium.

112 in 2000, based on fossil branches (13 slabs) and numerous other fragments (Berry, 2000) collected from middle-Givetian strata from the lower member of the Campo Chico Formation (Casas et al, 2022).

The lithology of the lower member consists of dark grey to green mudstones and shales, interbedded with medium-coarse-grained sandstones close to the base of the Campo Chico Formation, in outcrops of the road to the Rio Socuy (Casas et al, 2022; pag 24), close to the Cano Colorado river, Perija Range, Zulia, Venezuela (Casas et al, 2022).
