Abstract

Two fossil woods belonging to Terminalia tomentosa and Lagerstroemia sp. cf. L. parviflora have been described from the fossiliferous sandstone exposed near Mahuadanr, Palamu District, Bihar. Based on the earlier record of fossil wood of Sindora from this bed a Miocene-Pliocene age has been suggested.
