This is a piece of late Miocene palm “wood” from Orinda, California. Not a true wood; it is part of the Palmoxylon form genus. Palm wood can rarely be attributed to a palm species identified by foliage or fruit such as Sabal. It was found in a landslide area on top of sedimentary interbeds of the Moraga Formation and the younger lacustrine Siesta Formation sediments. Volcanic rocks and possible spring deposits are nearby. Fossilized palm roots, reeds and petrified wood occur in the area. This piece and others found in the area represent the youngest palm fossils found in

The fossil deposit of the Montâgne d'Andance, a freshwater maar, is located about 10 km southeast from Privas (Ardèche, France). It is an approximately 50 m thick layer of diatomaceous earth, which is now obtained by the company C.E.C.A. Diatomite in large-scale mining as a filtering agent.
