To assess the pattern of climatic evolution during the late Miocene to early Pleistocene in the largest fluvio-deltaic sedimentary system on the Earth, the Bengal Basin (BB), a quantitative palaeoclimatic reconstruction was made, based on 20 fossil wood floras. Those floras show that moisture-loving taxa have decreased considerably since the Miocen...
Polar transport of the phytohormone auxin is a well-known physiological phenomenon recorded in different extant plant groups including bryophytes and pteridophytes. Earlier, this phenomenon has been recorded in an Upper Devonian (375 million-year) arborescent progymnosperm, Archaeopteris. Since then further record of such occurrence of polar auxin...
Thirteen taxa of fossil dicotyledonous woods are described from the Tipam Sandstone (Mio-Pliocene) and Dupi Tila Formations (Plio-Pliestocene) of Bangladesh. Their anatomical characters suggest affinities to Anacardiaceae, Burseraceae, Clusiaceae, Dipterocarpaceae, Fabaceae, Lecythidaceae, Meliaceae and Moraceae. These fossil woods demonstrate a hi...
The paper describes a fossil wood of Fabaceae, Hopeoxylon assamicum Lalitha and Prakash from the Tertiary deposits of Burdwan District, West Bengal. Xylotomical features of the fossil wood closely resemble the wood anatomy of extant genus Sindora Miq. This is the first record of the occurrence of Sindora from the Tertiary of West Bengal. Distributi...
