Resumen:
UPPER CENOZOIC LIGNOFLORA FROM NORTHEAESTERN ARGENTINA. A summary of the fossil wood descriptions
from the Argentine Mesopotamia is made. Petrified woods from the Paraná, Ituzaingó, Salto Chico, and El Palmar formations
are analysed. Seven families are recognized: Lauraceae, Myrtaceae, Combretaceae, Anacardiaceae, Leguminosae
(Mimosoideae and Papilionoideae), Arecaceae and Poaceae. The comparison of fossil with extant taxa, allowed to recognize
paleoecological requirements and composition of three paleocommunities: the higrophyle forest, the wood forest and the
palms paleocommunities are represented in the lignoflora fossil record of this region
