Abstract
The locality of Chilhac (Haute-Loire, France) has yielded an abundant fauna of vertebrate (fifteen fossil mammal species and three fossil bi rd species). The existence of plant prints were revealed lately, they concern endocarp prints of the genus: Prunus. Recently, the discovery of smaller splinters of parts of the plant, which were moulded by volc anic ash, were studied by scanning electron microscopy. They show, for the first time in Upper-Pliocene, the presence of Testate Ameobae of the genus Trinema.
