Abstract

Fossil woods representing the genera Elaeocarpus, Mallotus, Afzelia, Bursera, Kayea and Terminalia have been identified from the Tertiary of Tipam sandstones in Assam. Their presence in Eastern India during the Upper Miocene is note-worthy from the standpoint of their palaeographical distribution. The fossil wood of Bursera is known for the first time from India and abroad.
