Abstract

A list of all known fossil wood taxa reported from the Jurassic, up to March of 2024, is given. The list contains 54 genera and 203 species of gymnospermous wood taxa described from 36 countries across seven continents. 35 genera and 98 species were reported from Asia, 25 genera and 58 species from Europe, 10 genera and 15 species from Africa, 7 genera and 11 species from North America, 12 genera and 28 species from South America, and 4 genera and 5 species from Australia and Antarctica. 23 genera and 44 species were documented from the Lower Jurassic, 36 genera and 82 species from the Middle Jurassic, and 24 genera and 67 species from the Upper Jurassic. Systematically: two genera and two species belong to Cycadales; one monotypic genus belongs to Bennettitales; four genera and seven species belong to Ginkgoales; 45 genera and 191 species of Coniferales; and two genera and two species are of Incertae sedis.
