Cocos sahnii Kaul: A Cocos nucifera L.-like fruit from the Early Eocene rainforest of Rajasthan, western India
A Shukla, RC Mehrotra, JS Guleria - Journal of biosciences, 2012 - Springer
Cocos sahnii Kaul, a fossil palm fruit, is validated and described from the Fuller's earth
deposits of Kapurdi village of Rajasthan considered as Early Eocene in age. The fossil best
resembles the genus Cocos, particularly Cocos nucifera L., which is now a common coastal
element thriving in highly moist conditions. The recovery of this coconut-like fruit, along with
earlier described evergreen taxa from the same formation, suggests the existence of typical
tropical, warm and humid coastal conditions during the depositional period. The present arid …
