Abstract

A paleobotanical study of the fossil woods has been carried out from the Tertiary Janggi Group, Pohang Basin. Three species belonging to three genera of Ulmus sp., Prunus sp., and Acer sp. were identified from the Lower Coalbearing Formation, and two species of two genera of Taxodioxylon sp. and Fagus hondoensis (Watari) from the Upper Coal-bearing Formation. As our specimens are mostly poorly preserved, it is difficult to give clear specific names, but mostly are all characteristic constitutional elements of the Miocene fossil woods in Korea. The values of mean sensitivity measured from the fossil woods of Lower and Upper Coal-bearing Formations are 0.367 and 0.370 respectively, but they are more than 0.30. Based on the present two data mentioned above, it stands to reason that there were many changes in the water supply to the roots of the woods or having influence to some degree each year because of the seasonal changes in rainfall.

포항 분지 제3기 장기층군에서 산출된 화석목재의 고식물학적 연구가 수행되었다. 하부 함탄층의 화석목재는 Ulmus sp., Prunus sp., and Acer sp.의 3속 3종으로, 상부 함탄층의 화석목재는 Taxodioxylon sp.와 Fagus hondoensis (Watari) Watari의 2속 2종으로 각각 동정되었다. 연구에 사용한 표본은 조직의 보존성이 좋지 않아서 종의 동정까지는 어렵지만, 이들은 모두 한국 마이오세 화석목재의 특징적인 구성 요소들이다. 하부 및 상부 함탄층에서 채집한 화석목재의 나이테를 분석하여 얻어진 평균민감도 값은 0.367과 0.370로 비슷하지만, 이들은 0.30보다는 약간 높다. 현재의 두 그룹의 자료만으로 판단하면, 뿌리에 대한 물의 공급은 계절적인 강수량의 변화에 의해 매년 어느 정도 제한을 받았거나 물 공급에 있어 다양한 변화가 있었던 것으로 추정된다.
