Abstract :Until now, a considerable number of Miocene conifer trees has been determined using fossil wood identification. Some studies on fossil wood identifications have revealed the need to reconsider certain fossil wood species definitions. The present study aimed to re-analysis the conifer wood identifications insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cupressaceae);, which were described as genus, and performed necessary revisions in the descriptions. All studies were conducted on thin sections used in former studies, and detailed investigations were performed. As result, Cupressoxylon pliocenica Akkemik, 2019, Glyptostroboxylon rudolphii Dolezych & van der Burgh, 2004, and Taxodioxylon gypsaceum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Göppert); Kräusel, 1949, were described in Turkey. This study showed that these three fossil species had wider distribution areas and lived in a very wide time interval from mainly early Miocene to Pliocene in Turkey.
