Description

Durania ehrenbergii
Miocene
Braunkohle Lignite
Adendorf, Rhineland, Germany.

14mm fruit from coal deposit.

Durania was originally described as an extinct plant genus based on a fruit fossil from the Oligocene of Germany but one researcher later identified the fruit as belonging to the modern genus Rehderodendron.  It’s unclear if this has become the prevailing view.
