The sediments consist mainly of semi-consolidated gravel, sand, silt, and clay, indicating that the woods were transported by the ancient Ping River. Macroscopic features revealed that preservation of these fossils (e.g., intercellular spaces, iron oxides, quartz crystals, colors, and weathering conditions) shared many similarities to some petrified trunks in Tak Province. We investigated both large (approx. 0.50–0.7<!--> <!-->m wide, at least 10–20 meters long) and small fragments of fossils for both wood anatomical features and mineralogy. Diffuse porosity with indistinct growth rings and wide vessels at low densities suggest a tropical lowland forest paleoenvironment.

Among them, three wood types originate from legume trees (Fabaceae), while the fourth is from a eudicotyledonous tree.

The other legume-like wood shows banded parenchyma. Petrified wood from Kamphaeng Phet is correlative with other Quaternary paleofloras found in Northern Thailand in both preservation and taxa.

While the Early Pleistocene record is largely dominated by reports of giant tortoises, the Middle Pleistocene record provides reports of the first occurrences of most extant taxa living in the area. Most, if not all, of the faunas have stronger relationships with Indochinese than with East Asian taxa, suggesting that colonisation largely followed the Siva- or Sino-Malayan routes, allowing turtles to invade the Sunda Shelf and disperse further east during periods of low sea-level. On the other hand, there is nearly no fossil data to understand the origin of the six endemic Malesian species, but molecular studies suggest that most of these taxa may have evolved in Malesia well before the Quaternary dispersal of the Indochinese fauna. In addition to clarify several fossil identifications, we provide evidence that the box turtle of the ``<em>Cuora amboinensis</em>'' species complex arrived in the Philippines before the early Middle Pleistocene.

They include skull elements (premaxilla, maxilla, parietal, quadrate and dentary), postcranium elements (dorsal vertebra, caudal vertebra, femur and osteoderm) and isolated teeth, and are described as goniopholidid crocodyliforms. Phylogenetic analysis resulted in nesting the Kitadani goniopholidid at the basal position of Goniopholididae and one autapomorphy is recognized: presence of the parietal sagittal crest. In addition, the narrow snout and a heterodont dentition in jaws of this goniopholidid is a unique combination of rostral morphology among Goniopholididae. Generally, the basal taxa bear a narrow snout with homodont dentition, and the heterodont dentition is seen in derived broad-snouted taxa. Judging from those rostral shape and dentitions, the Kitadani form possessing acute caniniform and blunt teeth tends to be more opportunistic as foraging strategy than other basal narrow-snouted goniopholidids with only acute caniniforms throughout. Our new discovery is the first osteological report of Japanese Cretaceous crocodyliform. <em>Siamosuchus phuphokensis</em> from the Early Cretaceous Sao Khua Formation, Khorat Group also shows combination of basal and derived cranial characters.
