Abstract

Fossil carbonised angiospermous fruil Canariocarpon ratnagiriensis gen. et sp. nov. has been described from the Miocene sediments of Sindhudurg District, Maharashtra, India. The detailed morphological characters indicate its affinities with extant Canarium of Burseraceae. Occurrence of Canarium type fruits in these sediments signifies warm-humid climate prevailing during the time of deposition.
