Abstrakt: A palaeoxylotomical study was done on several samples from a private collection of petrified wood found in Bozovici area, which were taxonomically identified. Bozovici area is a small Badenian depression filled by coarse continental deposits, with some interbedded coal and volcanic tuffs. The frequent lateral facies variations and the few fossils of fresh water fauna make difficult a stratigraphic correlation of these deposits. Those samples of fossil wood were identified as remains of Glyptostroboxylon rudolphii Dolezych et Van der Burgh and Spiroplatanoxylon densiradiatum (Petrescu) Süss and an extended discussion concerning the systematics of these taxa was made. Advanced studies on more numerous samples coming from Bozovici area could contribute to a better palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic reconstruction of that area, during Badenian time.
