“…All these features found in this wood are about the same as the former Laurinoxylon litseoides described from the same area. After in the first description of Laurinoxylon litseoides by Süss (1958) from the middle to late Oligocene of Germany, this fossil species was identified in the Aegean Basin, firstly in Lesbos island (Mantzouka et al, 2016) and later in İstanbul (Akkemik et al, 2019), and in Gökçeada (Akkemik, 2021). All these identifications showed that this fossil species found from the middle Oligocene to the middle Miocene at these locations.…”

The fossil site in Gökçeada has a rich diversity of fossil woods. New fossil woods found in different times may improve our knowledge on this fossil site. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the identification results of new fossil woods. After taking thin sections from three different directions of fossil woods as transverse, tangential and radial, identifications were performed. As result, Ginkgoxylon lesboense Süss was determined for the first time in Gökçeada together with re-identifications of Ostryoxylon gökceadaense Akkemik, Cryptocaryoxylon grandoleaceous Akkemik, and Laurinoxylon litseoides Süss with the new fossil wood fragments. Due to the absence of the Aegean Sea in the middle Miocene, today's islands were a permanent piece of land, and therefore, new findings also revealed that the woody flora during the middle Miocene in Gökçeada and Lesbos islands was similar. This study also showed that the genus of Ginkgo L., which is represented with only one species today in China, had a common species in the middle Miocene forests of Aegean basin.

“…Such fossil forests also exist in Turkey. Studies on petrified in Turkey have increased recently on different geological periods ranging from the Oligocene Era to the Pliocene Era are the main fields of study are the East Thrace Ergene basin (Akkemik et al, 2005), Çamlıdere-Pelitçik village (Akkemik et al, 2009), Seben-Hoçaş village (Akkemik et al, 2016), Güdül (Akkemik et al, 2017), Haymana (Akkemik et al, 2018), Galatya Massive (Bayam et al, 2018), Gökçeada (Güngör et al, 2019) North of Istanbul (Akkemik et al, 2019) and around Kütahya (Akkemik et al, 2019). Fossil trees are generally difficult to come across as a whole, but rather encountered as remains.…”

Doğa tarihi, paleocoğrafya ve paleoklimatoji açısından önemli olan fosil ormanlara Türkiye'den yeni bir katkı olarak yeni bir fosil orman alanı, Uşak ili Banaz ilçesi batısında, Karatepe, Alan Tepe, Söpseke Sırtı, Sakızocak Tepe, Tuzlagedik Tepe arasında kalan alanda tespit edilmiştir. Bu alanda, 2-60 metre kalınlığındaki Paleojen'e ait silisli lateritik depolar içinde silisleşmiş ağaç fosilleri bulunmaktadır. Geniş bir alana yayılmış durumda bulunan silisleşmiş ağaç fosillerinin boyutları 1,5 m uzunluğuna ve 70 cm çapına kadar ulaşmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, bu silisleşmiş ağaçların tanısını yapmak, fosil orman özelliğini belirlemek ve paleocoğrafik açıdan değerlendirmektir. Araştırma alanından alınan örneklerden makroskobik olarak farklılık gösterdiği değerlendirilen 4 örnekten enine, radyal ve teğet kesitleri alınarak tanı çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda silisleşmiş ağaçların sekoya grubu (Sequoioxylon) olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Günümüzde ülkemizde doğal olarak yayılışı bulunmayan Sequoia tipi ağaçların varlığı bu alanda Paleojen boyunca ılıman iklim koşullarının hakim olduğu bataklık orman ya da dere kenarı vejetasyonunun bulunduğunu göstermektedir.
