“…Anatomical features of the samples are rather similar to Sequoioxylon from Turkey, described by Akkemik et al (2005Akkemik et al ( , 2009Akkemik et al ( , 2018 and Akkemik and Sakınç (2013). Although this type of wood was mostly named as Sequoioxylon (Greguss, 1967;Basinger, 1981;Blokhina, 1986Blokhina, , 1997Blokhina and Nassichuk, 2000;Akkemik et al 2005Akkemik et al , 2009Akkemik et al , 2013Blokhina et al, 2010), there is debate about the name (Blokhina et al, 2011;Tian et al, 2018). Some authors use Sequoioxylon (Eliçin, 1973;Fahn et al, 1988;Schweingruber, 1988;Akkemik and Yaman, 2012).…”

“…Regarding fossil species of Sequoioxylon and Taxodioxylon, many studies were performed (e.g., Greguss, 1967;Özgüven-Ertan, 1971Özgüven-Ertan, , 1983Yang and Zeng, 2003;Erdei et al, 2009;Blokhina et al, 2010;Dolezych, 2011;Iamandei et al, 2013;Koutecký and Sakala, 2015;Tian et al, 2018). Sequoioxylon and Taxodioxylon descriptions were given from the Oligocene of Thrace (Özgüven-Ertan, 1971;Akkemik et al, 2005;Akkemik and Sakınç, 2013), the early Miocene of central Anatolia (Akkemik et al, 2009), and the Pliocene of central Anatolia (Özgüven-Ertan, 1983).…”

“…Subsequently, some authors used Taxodioxylon (e.g., Biondi and Brugiapaglia, 1991;Süss and Velitzelos, 1997;Erdei et al, 2009), and some used Sequoioxylon (e.g., Greguss, 1967;Basinger, 1981;Özgüven-Ertan, 1983;Blokhina, 1986Blokhina, , 1997Blokhina and Nassichuk, 2000;Akkemik et al, 2005Akkemik et al, , 2009Blokhina et al, 2010;Akkemik and Sakınç, 2013). Very recently, Tian et al (2018) discussed taxodioid wood again. They suggested that if the wood has a traumatic resin canal, it should be called Sequoioxylon.…”

Recent paleobotanical studies on petrified woods revealed valuable information about the Miocene-period trees of Turkey. The purpose of this study is to present new descriptions from the Pliocene of central Anatolia. The materials were collected from a new fossil site of Pliocene age in the village of Yıprak (Çerkeş, Çankırı, Turkey) in central northern Turkey. With this study, a new fossil genus, Cercioxylon Ü. Akkemik, related to modern Cercis L., and a new fossil species of Cupressinoxylon were described, and a long presence of taxodioid type trees from the late Oligocene to Pliocene of Turkey were discussed. The wood composition showed that the area had a lowland riparian forest type composed of Taxodioxylon, with lowland semidry vegetation composed of Cercioxylon and Cupressinoxylon. This type of vegetation, excluding the presence of Taxodioxylon, is rather similar to modern vegetation in the Mediterranean region.

“…Several trunk fossils, including those of the common Cretaceous taxa Tempskya zhangii Yang et al 2018 and Cycadeoidea Buckland, 1828, have been described from Keshan, approximately 100 km from the fossil locality (Liu et al, 2017; Yang et al, 2018). Other fossils discovered in the same region include tree fern trunks ( Heilongjiangcaulis keshanensis Cheng & Yang, 2018, and Cyathocaulis Ogura, 1927 or Cibotiocaulis Ogura, 1927; Cheng & Liu, 2017; Cheng & Yang, 2018), and conifer wood ( Sequoioxylon zhangii Tian et al, 2018b).…”

A new species of the Osmundaceae, Plenasium xiei sp. nov., is herein described from the Cretaceous of Northeast China. The specimens examined here represent the earliest unequivocal record of the extant genus Plenasium in Eurasia based on fossil rhizomes. The rhizome consists of a central stem with a mantle of petiole bases and adventitious roots. The stem contains an ectophloic‐dictyoxylic siphonostele and a two‐layered cortex. The C‐shaped leaf trace bears two protoxylem bundles at the point of separation from the stele. The pith is heterogeneous. The parenchymatous inner cortex is thinner than the sclerenchymatous outer cortex. Lobed sclerenchyma bands occur at the adaxial sides of the stem xylem strands, in the concavity of the leaf trace, and along the adaxial side of the vascular bundles of the petiole base. In distal petiole portions, the sclerenchyma band splits into several groups in the transverse view. Sclerenchyma rings are heterogeneous with an abaxial sclerenchymatous arc of thick‐walled fibers. Numerous sclerenchyma strands of thick‐walled fibers appear in the petiolar inner cortex and the stipular wing. These fossils provide unambiguous evidence for the existence of subgenus Plenasium of modern Plenasium by at least the Late Cretaceous, demonstrating the longevity of this extant subgenus. Altogether the leaf and rhizome fossil records of Plenasium indicate that this genus was widely distributed across North America and Eurasia from the Early Cretaceous to the Early Cenozoic, followed by a range restriction to Eurasia in the Late Cenozoic. Extant Plenasium species are only known from East and Southeast Asia.

Recently, Tian et al (2018) again discussed taxodioid wood and suggested that the genus Sequoioxylon had been used for fossil woods showing wood anatomical characters of the modern representatives of Sequoioideae with traumatic resin canals, and Taxodioxylon for fossil woods without traumatic resin canals. In the light of this discussion, and the combination of the features given for these two fossil genera, we can consider our woods as Taxodioxylon.…”

Abstract Taxodioxylon Hartig (emended by Gothan 1905) was widely described from the late Oligocene of the European part of Turkey (Thrace) and the early Miocene of greater Turkey, Anatolia. Glyptostroboxylon Conw. was also described from the early Miocene of central Anatolia. The purpose of this paper is to present a more detailed extended history of these two genera up to the late Miocene (Tortonian) with new descriptions from the Galatean Volcanic Province in central Turkey. The wood identification showed the presence of two fossil species; Glyptostroboxylon rudolphii Dolezych et Burgh and Taxodioxylon gypsaceum (Göpp.) Greguss. In conclusion, the swamp and lowland warm-temperate forest composition including Glyptostroboxylon and Taxodioxylon in the Galatean Volcanic Province, continued from the early Miocene (Burdigalian) to the late Miocene (Tortonian).
