In the present note, there are provided details on the doubtful data on the occurrence of some fossil palm species in Gebel Qatrani Formation, Fayum, Egypt.It provides a critical review of the preliminary list of fossil palm wood given by El-Saadawi(2006). It is concluded that only two species, i.e., PalmoxylongeometricumSahniand P. pondicherrienseSahni, are considered valid from this locality. While, in the absence of independent confirmation, all other records of Palmoxylonare highly doubtful and preferably disregarded altogether. |
