Abstract

Xenoxylon is a morphogenus used for a Mesozoic type of wood. Its distribution is circumpolar, limited to the Northern Hemisphere and belt-like. The lower the palaeotemperature, as estimated from geological inferences, the lower is its mean palaeolatitude. The wood is frequently associated with floristic or sedimentological indications of a cool and/or wet climate. Both synecology and autoecology suggest that Xenoxylon favoured cool/wet climates. The sedimentological analysis of its occurrence sheds new light on the relationship between palaeoclimatology and sedimentation.
