Özet:

 

Recent paleobotanical studies on petrified woods revealed valuable information about the Miocene-period trees of Turkey. The  purpose  of  this  study  is  to  present  new  descriptions  from  the  Pliocene  of  central  Anatolia.  The  materials  were  collected  from  a  new  fossil  site  of  Pliocene  age  in  the  village  of  Yıprak  (Çerkeş,  Çankırı,  Turkey)  in  central  northern  Turkey.  With  this  study,  a  new  fossil genus, Cercioxylon Ü. Akkemik, related to modern Cercis L., and a new fossil species of Cupressinoxylon were described, and a long  presence  of  taxodioid  type  trees  from  the  late  Oligocene  to  Pliocene  of  Turkey  were  discussed.  The  wood  composition  showed  that the area had a lowland riparian forest type composed of Taxodioxylon, with lowland semidry vegetation composed of Cercioxylon and Cupressinoxylon.  This  type  of  vegetation,  excluding  the  presence  of  Taxodioxylon,  is  rather  similar  to  modern  vegetation  in  the  Mediterranean region.
