Quercus L. Material: sample No 695, depth 1487.2-1487.0 m Quercus sp. The original length of the leaf is approximately 7.3 cm, the measurable length is 6.2 cm, the width is 4.2 cm. The apex and the basis of the leaf is broken off, the margin is visible only at some parts. The venation is craspedodromous, the secondary veins are arching slightly upwards, terminating in simple teeth. Numerous species of the genus are known to exist amidst variable ecological conditions. They were widespread and common during the Miocene. Hamamelidaceae Parrotia C. A. MEY.

Material: sample No 711, depth 1534.9-1534.8 m, No 713, depth 1539.0 m A medial and a basal-marginal fragment of a leaf were found. The midvein, the basal veins starting from beside the midvein and the secondary veins branching off from the basal vein form a characteristic network, clearly observable on our specimen. The margin is entire and undulate on the basal part. The species is not known prior to the Neogene. Impressions of leaves were found in the Badenian and Sarmatian of Hungary, but it is also known from the Pannonian of Austria (Andreánszky 1959, Kovar-Eder 1988) and from the Pliocene of Poland (Zastawniak 1972).
