Abstract
Traces of damage on fossil Taxodium leaves from the Tsagayan Formation of the Arkhara-Boguchan brown coal field (Amur Region, Russia; Paleocene) are studied using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). It is shown that the damage was caused by endophytic micromycetes. The problems of classification of microscopic damage to fossil plants are discussed.
