A new species of fossil wood, Dadoxylon jamudhiense, is described from the Raniganj stage of Jharia coalfield, Bihar. The wood is distinguished by the presence of a large percentage of partly biseriate xylem rays, 1-2 or 3 seriate, alternate or opposite, mostly circular radial pits and 1-4-simple and broadly oval to circular pits in the cross-field.
