Acer sp.

Pl. 10, Fig. 11–12

Fruits samaroid, 26 and 23 mm long, 6 and 7 mm wide, nutlet at basal end, smaller, inflated, broadly oval, 2 and 3 mm in diameter, surface of nutlet poorly preserved, wing with a widely convex distal margin, proximal margin straight, apical margin rounded, 10 to 11 veins coalesced along proximal margin, wing veins diverging at angles of 20–30°, bifurcating 1 to 3 times.

Maple fruits are usually not assignable to associated foliage; therefore we do not attempt any specific determination in this respect.
