A summary is given on the African Miocene dicot woods. Egypt is the second richest African country after Ethiopia in Miocene dicot woods. Fabaceae is the largest family regarding the number of wood species in Africa and Egypt. Miocene dicot woods from Wadi Natrun area in Egypt were examined and two new records: Dalbergioxylon dicorynioides-Fabaceae and Sapindoxylon stromeri- Sapindaceae are reported. Xylotomical features indicate that the former was a large tree while the latter was a shrub or small tree and that a nonseasonal tropical palaeoclimate is suggested for the Miocene of the growth area. |
