Podocarpoxylon helmstedtianum Gottwald from Kučlín (Late Eocene, Czech Republic) reinterpreted as Tetraclinoxylon vulcanense Privé

A big silicified trunk from the Late Eocene locality of Kučlín was originally identified as Podocarpoxylon helmstedtianum Gottwald and preliminarily associated with co‐occurring twigs and cone scales of Doliostrobus taxiformis ( Sternb.) Z.Kvaček . However, the new diagnosis of the genus Doliostrobus , recently complemented by the characteristics of secondary wood of twigs, does not support such an attribution. On the basis of a new analysis of wood structures and comparisons, the fossil wood from Kučlín is reinterpreted as Tetraclinoxylon vulcanense Privé , and associated with twigs and seeds of Tetraclinis salicornioides ( Unger) Z. Kvaček , the second conifer recorded at this locality.
