One morphotype of entire-margined petiolate leaf is assigned here to cf. Trigonobalanopsis rhamnoides (ROSSMÄSSLER) KVAČEK et WALTHER (Pl. 3, Fig. 9). It is an incomplete elliptic petiolate leaf with entire margin and brochidodromous venation. The leaf form resembles foliage with rhamnoid venation produced by regularly spaced secondaries so typically developed in this fossil fagaceous element, distributed in the Eocene to Pliocene of Europe ( Kvaček and Walther 1988). For a definite attribution of the material it is necessary to have evidence of the epidermal anatomy which is not available in the examined specimen. Trigonobalanopsis rhamnoides was well represented in the Neogene of Italy having been previously called Castanopsis toscana (BANDULSKA) KRÄUSEL et WEYLAND ( Kräusel and Weyland 1950, Fischer and Butzmann 2000).
