New fossil wood material was reported for the first time from the Lower Cretaceous Jiufotang Forma- tion in Yixian of western Liaoning��NE China�� These fossil woods are silicified preserved��in which one specimen is anatomically preserved with pith��primary xylem and secondary xylem�� The pith is mainly composed of paren- chymatous cells�� The primary xylem is with an endarch maturation�� Anatomical details of the secondary xylem can be taxonomically referred to the morphogenus Protophyllocladoxylon Kr�|usel�� Additionally��numerous small holes occurred on the surface of some fossil wood specimens��which is guessed the foraging marks of insect larvae�� It is noted that numerous fossil charcoals were found associated with these fossil woods�� The presence of fossil charcoal indicates that natural wild fires��most probably ignited by volcanic eruptions��may have occurred in the Yixian re- gion during the sedimentary stage of the Jiufotang Formation in the Early Cretaceous��
