Abstract
Within the Avon Park Formation of west-central Florida, U.S.A., fossil seagrasses are preserved as carbonized imprints within the bedding planes of a micritic dolomitized limestone. Six species could be recognized, but only for three of them was the material sufficiently complete to allow a formal description. These three species are Thalassodendron auricula - leporis den Hartog n.sp., Cymodocea floridana den Hartog n.sp. and Thalassia testudinum Banks ex König. The genera Thalassodendron and Cymodocea have not been recorded for America before.
