Fossil woods from Oligocene Río Leona Formation were studied and
described. A new morphospecies of Myrceugenellites
with affinity to Myrtaceae was described and a new morphogenus, similar to Schinus (Anacardiaceae), was erected and
documents the first fossil wood with this affinity from Patagonia. The diagnosis of Laurelites doroteaensis with affinity to
Atherospermataceae and Doroteoxylon vicente-perezii with affinity to Leguminosae
were amended. All the described woods resemble the wood of extant species that
today inhabit Patagonia with the exception of D. vicente-perezii
the generic affinity of which remains uncertain.
