“…A fossil fruit from the Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) of Israel was also attributed to Iodes by Soudry and Gregor (1997), as Iodes israelii. However, the position of the vascular bundle has not been confirmed in this specimen, making it difficult to assess whether or not this fossil truly belongs in the genus.…”

Abstract:The Early Eocene (Ypresian) London Clay Formation contains one of the most important fruit and seed assemblages from the Paleogene, including a large diversity of taxa (>350 spp.) preserved as pyrite permineralizations retaining 3D structure as well as anatomical detail. Despite the importance of the flora for understanding angiosperm biogeographic and evolutionary history, the majority of the fossil material has not been revisited since the original taxonomic treatments by E.M. Reid and M.E.J. Chandler. Given subsequent advances in our understanding of angiosperm phylogeny and fruit morphology, coupled with technological advances in imaging/visualizing fossil material, many of the taxa represented in the flora deserve further study. Here we present a revision of the pantropical family Icacinaceae using X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) images of 21 species from the flora. Based on the results, four new combinations are made, a new fossil-genus is established for a distinctive species with affinities to the Phytocreneae, and emended diagnoses are provided for eight taxa. Of the seven genera recognized from the flora, only one, Iodes Blume, is extant. This study offers important insights on the biogeographic and evolutionary history of Icacinaceae, which is one of the most abundant and diverse components of the flora from the London Clay Formation.Key words: endocarps, Eocene, Icacinaceae, Iodes, London Clay, X-ray tomography.Résumé : La formation d'argile de Londres (London Clay Formation) de l'Éocène précoce (Yprésien) comprend un des assemblages de fruits et de graines du Paléogène le plus important, comprenant une grande diversité de taxons (>350 spp.) préservés sous forme de minéralisations de pyrite qui conservent la structure en 3D de même que le détail anatomique. Malgré l'importance de la flore pour comprendre l'histoire biogéographique et évolutive des angiospermes, la majorité du matériel fossile n'a pas été revisité depuis les descriptions taxonomiques originales de E.M. Reid et M.E.J. Chandler. Compte tenu des progrès subséquents quant à notre compréhension de la phylogénie des angiospermes et de la morphologie des fruits, couplés aux progrès technologiques en imagerie/ visualisation du matériel fossile, plusieurs taxons représentés dans la flore méritent d'être étudiés davantage. Les auteurs présentent ici une révision de la famille pantropicale des Icacinaceae à l'aide d'images en microtomographie aux rayons-X assistée par ordinateur (micro-CT) de 21 espèces de la flore. Selon les résultats, quatre nouvelles combinaisons sont faites, un nouveau genre fossile est établi pour une espèce distinctive ayant des affinités avec les Phytocreneae, et des diagnostics amendés sont fournis pour huit taxons. Des sept genres reconnus de la flore, un seul, Iodes Blume existe toujours. Cette étude offre un important aperçu de l'histoire biogéographique et évolutive des Icacinaceae, qui constituent une des composantes les plus abondantes et diverses de la flore de la formation de l'argile de Londr...

“…Though the fossil record of this family has been said to date back to the Late Cretaceous (Chesters 1955;Scott and Barghoorn 1957;Knobloch and Mai 1986;Soudry and Gregor 1997), occurrences of icacinaceous fossils are somewhat sparse until the Early-Middle Eocene, at which point they show an increase in abundance and diversity in Europe and western North America (Pigg et al 2008), apparently coinciding with the expansion of tropical habitats in the Northern Hemisphere during this period (Wolfe 1978(Wolfe , 1980Wing et al 2005). Fossils of this family have been reported from many geographic locations, including Africa (Chesters 1955), Israel (Soudry and Gregor 1997), and Japan (Tanai 1990), but the bulk of the family's fossil record is known from Europe and western North America.…”

The Icacinaceae occur pantropically today, but are well represented by fossil fruits of the warm Early Middle Eocene, when tropical plants that currently occupy low latitudes were more widely distributed in higher latitudes. Members of this family are first known in the Late Cretaceous; however, fossil fruits of tribe Iodeae are quite rare before the Eocene. In this paper we describe the first formally recognized Late Paleocene icacinaceous taxa from western North America. We name two new species of Icacinicarya based on anatomically preserved fruits and establish a new genus, Icacinicaryites, for impressions with a strong similarity to Icacinicarya that lack anatomical preservation. These new records from the Almont/Beicegel Creek flora in North Dakota and several localities in Wyoming, Colorado, and Montana complement records known from the Early Eocene of England and document an increased diversity of Iodeae and related forms in the Paleogene of western North America.
