Abstract

A new silicated wood fossil related to the Sapotaceae family was identified from Quaternary Manchar beds of Thano Bula Khan (Paleoforest), Jamshoro, Pakistan. The xylotomic characteristics of the present fossil wood, i.e., diffuse porous wood, parenchyma tissue structure, rays and pits indicated close attributes with the genus Sapota belonging to family Sapotaceaee. The taphonomic evidence of the fossilized remains inferred that the tree from possessing fossilized wood was developed in situ, but was carried into the current location from another region.
