A new genus (Protosciadopityoxylon gen nov.) of Early Cretaceous fossil wood reported in the present paper was discovered from Liaoning Province, China, and is named as a new species: Protosciadopityoxylon liaoningense gen. et sp. nov. It is described here and this generic name, adopted by the authors, is employed for fossil wood that is believed to be nearly related to the recent genus Sciadopitys and the fossil genus Sciadopityoxylon. The new genus bears some similarities to Protophyllocladoxylon, Protocircoporoxylon and Xenoxylon in different geological ages, but it differs from them in the types of crossfield pitting.
