Summary of results and further studies in progress An approx. 7 Ma fossil forest has been excavated at Bukkabrany, preserved as wood. Preservation was made possible due to a sudden rise of level of Lake Pannon, drowning the forest and burying it by the sand body of a delta. Water saturation lasting for 7 million years allowed preservation of woody material, with minimum of mineral precipitation. Being the oldest known forest on Earth preserved as wood, the Bukkabrany fossil forest deserves special study, outlined as follows. • Age of the coal bed and forest (Imre M AGYAR ) • Taxonomy of plant fossils: wood (Martina D OLEZYCH ), leaf flora (Lilla H ABLY , Boglarka E RDEI ), pollen flora (Enikő M AGYARI ) • Dendrochronology – age of the trees, their relative age, palaeoenvironmental changes (climate, seasonality, aridity, flooding), forest structure: dimensions of trees, social structure, comparison with recent forests (Miklos K AZMER ). • Carbon isotope record of environmental change (Boglarka E
