We had in study some samples from a private collection of petrified wood, from South Apuseni mts., found in an area where numerous Miocene petrified woods were already described and tens lignotaxa were identified. These new petrified woods were collected from Ociu area, on the Church’s brook. They could contribute to better knowing that fabulous Mid-Miocene forest, and by palaeoxylotomic study the following arboreal taxa were identified: Thu-joxylon sp., Magnolioxylon kräuselii (Greguss) Van der Burgh, Spiroplatanoxylon densiradiatum (Petrescu) Süss, and Quercoxylon sp. cf. Quercus frainetto Tenore.
