Pinus cf. rigios (UNGER) ETTINGSHAUSEN

Pl.1, Fig. 2–3

Needles of an incomplete length measuring more than 120 mm, joined in 2 to 3 per fascicle; sheaths preserved sometimes at the fascicle base. The specific determination is doubtful. Similar needles were distinguished in two fossil species in the Meleto Clay by Fischer and Butzmann (2000),

but the number of needles per fascicle often varies between 2 and 3 in the same species in the subgen. Pinus .
