Six species belonging to five dicotyledonous families have been described here from a collection of petrified woods made from the Tertiary (Mio-Pliocene) pyroclastic deposits of the basalt on the southern side of Canon in Blue Nile Valley. They are Mammeoxylon lanneoides Lemoigne emend. of Guttiferae, Cassinium ethiopicum sp. nov. of Leguminosae, Sapotoxylon multiporosum sp. nov. of Sapotaceae, Stereospermoxylon eoacuminatissimum gen. et sp. nov., S. grambasti sp. nov. of Bignoniaceae and Vitexoxylon africanum sp. nov. of Verbenaceae.

“…However, in view of its close lithological and plant fossil similarities with the Sandhan Formation of Kachchh, its age is considered as Plio-Pleistocene till more evidences are obtained (Guleria & Shukla, 2011). Although the two genera being described herein are already known from various Palaeogene and Neogene sediments of India (Prakash, 1966;Prasad, 1989;Guleria, 1990Guleria, , 1991Srivastava & Bande, 1992;Prakash et al, 1994;Tiwari & Mehrotra, 2000), this is their first record from this formation.…”

“…The organ genus Terminalioxylon was instituted by Schönfeld (1947) for the fossil woods showing resemblance with Terminalia. Since then, a number of fossil woods of the genus were described from India and abroad and enlisted by several authors from time to time (Prakash, 1966;Prasad, 1989;Guleria, 1991). After the last listing only a few new species of it, viz.…”

Two fossil woods collected from the late Neogene sediments of Rajasthan show best resemblance to the modern genera Terminalia L. and Lagerstroemia L. of the families Combretaceae and Lythraceae, respectively. The fossils belong to the Shumar Formation of Jaisalmer Basin considered as Plio–Pleistocene in age. The habitats of the modern counterparts of the fossils indicate the prevalence of semi–evergreen to deciduous forests with warm and humid climatic conditions in the Jaisalmer District at the time of deposition of the sediments in contrast to the present day xeric vegetation with desertic conditions in the area.

“…The same fossil species is also known from the Namsang beds of Mio-Pliocene age in Arunachal Pradesh (Prakash 1966) has also described a Garcinia type of wood from the Curl.r!.aloreseries and named it as Guttiferoxylon indicum. However, on further investigation this has been found to resemble the modern woods of Ailanthus.…”
