The anatomical study of three gymnosperm fossil woods from the Upper Triassic La Coipa, La Ternera and Las Breas formations are presented. Prototaxoxylon intertrappeum is a taxacean wood from India characterized by its tertiary thickenings on their secondary tracheids: Protochamaecyparixylon klitzschii is a cupressaceous wood also present in the Nandanga Formation of South Africa while Protophyllocladoxylon cortaderitaensis is a Protopinaceae member which was already described from the Upper Triassic of Argentina. The present text is the first description of Triassic woods from Chile.
