Abstract
Five fossil endocarps were collected from late Miocene fluvial deposits in a commercial sandpit in Northeastern Thailand. The endocarps were studied with light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and compared with recent and fossil endocarps. We conclude that the endocarps are Parinari (Chrysobalanaceae) and propose two new species, P. hilliana and P. khoratensis. These provide the first record of Parinari fruits from Asia and the Pacific region and indicate that the genus was already pantropical by the Miocene with previous reports of Miocene Parinari endocarps from Africa (Ethiopia) and the Neotropics (Panama).

期刊介绍:
Acta Palaeobotanica is an international journal edited in English by the W. Szafer Institute of Botany, Polish Academy of Sciences, Kraków, since 1960, which publishes original palaeobotanical, palynological, palaeoecological and palaeophytogeographical papers, monographs, review and discussion articles and book reviews. It is the only journal in the Central and Eastern Europe publishing papers from all fields of palaeobotany. The journal is published regularly in one volume per year, with two numbers.
