Abstract: | A new species of fossil wood, Tapirira clarnoensis, is described from a probable late Eocene deposit in the Clarno Formation of Oregon known locally as the Nut Beds. The wood represents, to the knowledge of the writer, the earliest occurrence of Tapirira in the fossil record and the only occurrence of the genus outside its present neutropical range of distribution. |
