Data for new local palaeoflora near the village of Bersin (SW Bulgaria) are presented. Eight species of fossil plants have been identified. Eotrigonobalanus furcinervis is dominant over other species. The flora-bearing layers originate from the lower part of the Nevestino Formation, which is formed by alternating sandstone and mudstone sediments. Based on the established fossil macroflora, it can be assumed that the age of the flora-bearing sediments is late Eocene.
