Abstract

The Miocene fossil woods with Tilia affinity have been described for the first time in Korea. Two specimens of them were discovered from the fluvial deposits of the Sinjeongri (Lower Coal-bearing) Formation of the Janggi Basin at Donghae-myeon, Pohang City, and one specimen was identified from an exhibited collection in a local company of Ulsan City. These specimens were identified as a new taxon of Tilia wood from the Neogene; that is Tilia miocenica sp. nov. Jeong, E.K. et Kim, K. One of the two specimens from the Sinjeongri Formation was identified up to genus level due to poor preservation.
