Two permineralized fossil woods viz., Saracoxylon indicum gen. et sp. nov. and Ougenioxylon bengalensis sp. nov. are discribed for the first time from Mio-Pliocene formations of Burdwan and Birbhum Districts of West Bengal, India. The fossil wood resembling Ougenia was previously reported from the Tertiary of Assam; the occurrence of fossil wood resembling Saraca indica from the Indian Tertiary is a new record.
