Abstract

petrified wood resembling modern wood of Terminalia
(Combretaceae) is described from the Oligocene of the Cairo
Petrified Forest, Egypt. On the bases of xylotomical
homologies, the fossil wood is attributed to Terminalioxylon
edwardsii. A summary is given on Terminalioxylon and
Combretaceae, with inferences on palaeoclimate.
