Transverse section <strong>of</strong> a fossil wood, Megaporoxylon maheshwarij sp. nav., from Garu Formation.<br />
Arunachal Pradesh showing spiral to scalariform thickenings in primary xylem.<br />
exposed in Arunachal Pradesh has been described. The wood is characterised by the<br />
presence <strong>of</strong> distinct growth zones, endarch primary xylem and a single, large, circular<br />
or oval, irregularly oriented pits in the cross-field. These features are diagnostic <strong>of</strong> the<br />
genus Megaporoxylon. As the wood does not match with any <strong>of</strong> the known species <strong>of</strong><br />
the genus, it is named as Megaporoxylon maheshwarii sp. novo<br />
