This paper provides the first definitive identification of fossil Larix Miller wood using the characteristic features of ray-tracheid bordered pits. The wood was recovered from the middle Eocene (Lutetian/Uintan; 41.3-47.5 Ma) Buchanan Lake Formation on eastern Axel Heiberg Island in the Canadian High Arctic and extends the fossil record of Larix wood further back in geologic time. A new and rapid embedding method is described which provides a firm and non-destructive matrix for thin-sectioning and examining the well-preserved details of the wood. The wood is associated with Larix altoborealis LePage & Basinger, a short-bracted species, which was previously described from this locality as the earliest known species of Larix.
