Vörös A. szerk.: Fragmenta Mineralogica Et Palaentologica 17. 1994. (Budapest, 1994)

Material; 86.429.2. Description: 3.4 cm long, 1.1 cm wide leaflet. Shape ovate, apex acute, base obtuse, margin entire. Midvein strong, secondary veins are thin. Near the margin they curve toward the apex and run parallel with the margin. Discussion: In Hungary the species was mentioned from Ipolytarnóc (Hably 1985), where a leaf with more leaflets was found. Mimosaceae Acacia "Acacia" parschlugiana Unger, 1850 (PI. 19, fig. 6) 1859 Acacia parschlugiana Unger; Heer, p. 130, pi. 139, figs 45^47. Material; 86.328.2., 86.329.2., 86.485.1., 86.486.2., 86.489.1. Description: About 5 cm long, compound bipinnate leaves with 26-32 pairs of leaflets. Length of leaflets 0.4 - 0.45 cm, width 0.08 - 0.1 cm. Apex acute, margin entire. Venation of leaflets is not visible. Discussion: Compound leguminosoid leaves, like the above mentioned leaf, were pub­lished by Heer (1859) as Acacia. He also figured pods under this name, which are very similar to the pods found in Pomáz. Mimosaceae Leguminocarpon Heer Leguminocarpon sp. (PI. 20, figs. 2-9; PI. 21, figs. 1-5) 1992 Leguminocarpon type I.; Hably, p. 170, pi. 2, figs. 1-4. Material; 86.15.1., 86.17.2., 86.56.2., 86.152.1., 86.339.2., 86.340.1., 86.341.1., 86.342.2., 86.343.1., 86.344.1., 86.345.1., 86.346.1., 86.347.1., 86.348.1, 86.349.1, 86.350.1, 86.351.1, 86.352.1, 86.353.1, 86.354.2, 86.355.1, 86.369.1, 86.376.1, 86.442.3, 86.461.1, 86.596.1, 86.634.2, 86.651.1, 86.652.1. Description: The length of the pods 5.2-11.2 cm, width 0.6-2.2 cm, usually about 1.5 cm. The apex is attenuated, base is acute. The seeds are 0.3-1.2 cm in diameter, generally 0.6-0.9 cm.The distance between the seeds is 0.3-0.8 cm. There are several seeds in a fruit; the number of seeds depends on the size of the pod. The seeds are oval in shape and stand at right angles to the axis of the fruit. The sutures are broad and strong. The fruits bear dense and prominant venation. The veins start perpendicularly from the sutures diver­ging soon in Y form. Generally speaking they get thinner at the half of the fruit, sometimes adjoining and reach the suture again. Discussion: This type of legume shows great similarity to some specimens found in the Tertiary of Switzerland (Heer, 1859). It shows especially great resemblance to Acacia parschlugiana Unger (Heer, 1959, Pl. 139. flg. 48). Acacia cyclosperma (Heer, 1959 Pl. 139, fig. 60) probably also belongs to the same type. The figure clearly shows venation, that is characteristic of this fruit type. Although it is a common pod type in the Egerian of Hungary, it is absent at many other Egerian localities in the area of Central Paratethys.
