Fossil leaves, Woods, Deccan Intertrappean sediments (Maastrichtian to Palaeocene), Madhya Pradesh (India)Abstract
The paper describes dicot and monocot leaves along with some wood remains from new Deccan Intertrappean fossiliferous localities situated in the Seoni and Mandla districts of Madhya Pradesh. The leaf remains belong to Dicotyloplryllum Saporta, Phoenicites Brongniart, Amesoneuron Goeppert and the woods are represented by Hydnocarpoxylon Bande & Khatri, Polyalthioxylon Bande and Palmoxylon Schenk. Occurrence of mucilage canal in a fossil wood of palm has been reported for the first time.
