Pl. 5, fig. 7

1977a Liriodendron sp. ; Holý, p. 111 (Hrádek/N., Kristina Mine).

One half of seed obliquely drop-like, 5.75 mm long and 2.8 mm wide, granulate on the surface.

D i s c u s s i o n: Fruitlets and seeds of Liriodendron have been frequently recorded in Europe, beginning in the Oligocene ( Bůžek et al. 1976, at Markvartice) and continuing into the Pliocene. The presented material is too fragmentary for a precise identification ( Holý 1975, p. 20, pl.3, fig. 3).
