Abstract
A new record of fossil wood to the Valley of Jurua, Solimoes Formation, Southwestern Amazon, is analyzed. The fossil material came from one of the countless outcrops found along the Jurua River. The wood described presents anatomical affinities with the Fabaceae and more specifically with Zollernioxylon tinocoi Mussa. This new record confi rms the presence of the Fabaceae in the past vegetation of Amazon and by its comparison with modern vegetation contributes to the paleoenvironmental reconstructions of the region. Key words: fossil wood, Fabaceae, Miocene, Jurua Valley, Acre Basin, Brazil.
