Taxodium

Taxodium sp.  (e.g. bald cypress)/Glyptostrobus europaeus Heer (swamp cypress) / Sequoia langsdorfii Heer (sequoia)

In many cases it is impossible to distinguish the fossils of conifers at the level of species or even genus. In this way it can only be said that the fossil on the left is a member of the Taxodiaceae family (swamp cypresses).
