Abstract
Thirteen silicified fossil woods collected from the Cretaceous deposits of Haenam Basin and islands of Gwanmae and Byeongpung, Jeollanam-do as well as from the Cretaceous Dadaepo Formation, Busan, Korea. Anatomical features of all of these specimens showed that they were coniferous woods. On the basis of the detailed anatomical features they were identified as Dadoxylon byeongpungense sp. nov., Cupressinoxylon uhangriense sp. nov., Taxodioxylon cf. nihongii Nishida et H. Nishida, Taxodioxylon albertense (Penhallow) shimakura, and Mesembrioxylon sp. All of them, excep Mesembrioxylon, are decribed for the first time from the Korean Peninsula. It should be noted that no dicotyledonous wood has been found from this study. Generally the sampled horizons are considered as Upper Cretaceous with dinosaur footprint fossils. In Japan, the Upper Cretaceous sediments bear abundant dicotyledonous fossils. Therefore further studies should be needed to clarify the age of these horizons and the vegetation in the ancient world with dinosaur.
