      abstract     = {In the Lower Rhine Embayment (western Germany), the Neogene
                      lignite bearing sequence is rich in large fossil wood
                      trunks. Woods collected from sand-filled channels of a
                      meandering river system (Pliocene: Reuver series) and from
                      coal seams (Miocene: seams Garzweiler, Frimmersdorf and
                      Morken) were investigated by Curie-point pyrolysis coupled
                      with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry in order to
                      determine their palaeobotanical classification. In
                      comparison with reference data of individual pyrograms of
                      modern woods, it became possible to classify 15 fossil wood
                      trunks chemotaxonomically as follows: eleven samples were
                      identified as Taxodioxylon sp. by reference Sequoia
                      sempervirens, three samples were identified as Populoxylon
                      sp. by reference Populus nigra and one sample was identified
                      as Sciadopityoxylon sp. by two references of Sciadopitys
                      verticillata. Microanatomical crosschecks describe the
                      equivalent samples taxonomically as Taxodioxylon gypsaceum

                      JURASKY, and confirm the chemical classifications. For both
                      fossil and reference woods, our relative quantifications of
                      guaicyl and syringyl moieties are in precise accordance with
                      discriminations of gymnosperms versus angiosperms. This
                      means that not only unknown recent woods can
                      chemotaxonomically accurately be determined by Curie-point
                      pyrolysis gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and their
                      equivalent modern wood reference from our data base, but

                      back to the geological past up to a Miocene age at least.},
