“…Its occurrence in the Bozovici Basin is here reported for the first time for the Miocene deposits of Romania. In the Cenozoic floras of Greece, Pronephrium stiriacum was cited from the Oligocene beds at Lagina and Fylakton, Evros Region (Velitzelos et al 2002); from the Lower Miocene sequences at Grevena and Mudros, Lemnos Region (Berger 1953;Süss and Velitzelos 1993); and from the Upper Miocene deposits in Strymon Basin (Velitzelos 1993) and of the Platana Formation (Kleinhölter 1994;Velitzelos et al 2014). In southwestern France, described Pronephrium stiriacum from the Miocene of Arjuzanx.…”

Pronephrium stiriacum (Unger) Knobloch et Kvaček 1976 (Filicales, Thelypteridaceae Holttum 1971 is reported from the Oligocene Petroșani Basin and from the Miocene Bozovici Basin in Romania. Morphological variations of this species, such as size of the leaves, venation and marginal teeth, in the Oligocene-Miocene time interval in Romania are described, discussed and illustrated. The distribution of the Thelypteridacean species Pronephrium stiriacum is also discussed regarding its European expansion during the Cenozoic. Moreover, the palaeoecology of this species is discussed based on taphonomy and occurrences, as Pronephrium stiriacum was a secondary coal generator.

“…From Lemnos, numerous remnants of fossil woods have been collected, sometimes from excavations, from around the villages of Fergani, Romanou, Moudros, Varos, Rossopouli, Portianou, Thanos and Kontias, and on the hill of Paradisi, representing the specific "Petrified Forest of Limnos". However, a few lignotaxa have already been described from there: Laurinoxylon ehrendorferi and Cornoxylon pappi, described by Berger (1953), and later, a problematic conifer: Pinoxylon parenchymatosum Süss & Velitzelos (1993) later revised as Lesbosoxylon by Süss & Velitzelos (2010). A study of new samples collected from Lemnos is in progress, representing wood of angiosperms and conifers (Iamandei, unpublished data).…”

The paper reports a palaeoxylotomical study of petrified palm remains (stem, root, rachis) collected from some fossil sites of Greece (Evros, Lemnos, Lesbos and Kastoria) aged to the late Oligocene to early Miocene. Five species of Palmoxylon were identified: P. daemonoropsoides (Unger) Kirchheimer, corr., P. chamaeropsoides Iamandei et Iamandei, sp. nov., P. coryphoides Ambwani et Mehrotra, P. sabaloides Greguss, P. trachycarpoides Iamandei et Iamandei, sp. nov. and P. phoenicoides Hofmann. Also found were two species of Rhizopalmoxylon (R. daemonoropsoides Iamandei et Iamandei, sp. nov., R. phoenicoides Iamandei et Iamandei, sp. nov.) and Palmocaulon sp. aff. Phoenix L. These new identifications add new elements to the forest assemblages of the Oligocene–Miocene Greek flora, useful for understanding the evolution of the Cenozoic palaeoclimate in the Aegean area.

“…In addition to the fossilised leaves, the genus or the species of the trees can also be determined by the micro-analysis of the internal structure of the fossilised wood. The palaeobotanical study of the fossils permits certain conclusions to be drawn on the composition of the forest which was dominated by higher plant groups such as angiosperms (flowering plants) and gymnosperms (conifers) with a low proportion of pteridophytes (ferns) (Suss and Velitzelos 1993, 1994, Velitzelos and Zouros 1997, 1998, 2000.…”

On the island of Lesvos, large accumulations of fossilised tree trunks comprise the Lesvos Petrified Forest a protected natural monument. Within the protected area of the Lesvos Petrified Forest Geopark, several fossil sites with impressive fossilized trees have been discovered along the coast. During the last few years, the Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest has conducted systematic scientific research on these sites. The coastal area ofPlaka was one of the main sites of research interest in order to explore the terrestrial and marine fossil sites. Several clusters of petrified trees have been found and identified in 45 different fossil sites. Some of them were standing while others were lying. The intact root systems of the standing trees provide proof that these trees were petrified in situ. Most of the trees are angiosperms and gymnosperms. The coastal landscape and its rich ecosystem, and the fossil sites, in combination with volcanic, tectonic and geomorphological structures, are basis of the rich geotouristic potential of the new Plaka Park, which has become an area for environmental education as well as a new geotouristic attraction.
