Sequoioxylon fossil woods are described from the Cretaceous deposits of Primorye and Sakhalin (Russian Far East). They are characterized by combination of wood anatomical features of the modern members of the family Cupressaceae s. l. subfamily Sequoioideae: Sequoia, Sequoiadendron and Metasequoia. Wood remains of Sequoioideae were found in the Cretaceous deposits of Primorye and Sakhalin for the first time. The Sequoioxylon fossil wood from Primorye represents the first record of this wood from the Lower Cretaceous deposits of Russia.
