Agathoxylon sp.

MATERIAL. — 1 specimen: MP 1059.

DESCRIPTION

Poorly preserved homoxylous wood, with axial tracheids and radial ray parenchyma. Growth-rings not clearly observed. Radial tracheid pitting of araucarian type, similar to that of Agathoxylon gardoniense . The few preserved cross-fields we managed to observe were also of araucarian type, with poorly preserved oculipores.

REMARKS

Both specimens of fossil wood fit well within the variability of Agathoxylon gardoniense , as observed in numerous samples collected from the Charentes ranging in age from the Albian to the late Cenomanian.
