Pl. 11, Fig. 6
Secondarily flattened endocarps, ovate to elliptic 18 and
19 mm
long, 9 and
11 mm
wide, apex acute to obtuse, base asymmetric rounded to cuneate, orbicular dehiscence valve at the apex,
3 mm
in diameter, upper surface longitudinally ribbed, 8 and
9 in
number.
Elliptic endocarps preserved as impressions are assignable to

because the length is less than
20 mm
and there is a broad dehiscence valve covering the majority of the stone’s width. This species is common in a few Pliocene sites in
Italy
(
Martinetto 1995
,
Forno et al. 2015
), but is here recorded for the first time in Miocene sediments.
