摘      要：During the early Paleogene,greenhouse gases created warm global *** warm climates redistributed the habitat of marine and terrestrial biota *** the ecology of biotas under extremely warm climates is important to decipher their behavior in future climate *** we report two new legume fossils(Leguminocarpum meghalayensis Bhatia,Srivastava et Mehrotra ***.,and Parvileguminophyllum damalgiriensis Bhatia,Srivastava et Mehrotra ***.) from the late Paleocene sediments of Tura Formation of Meghalaya,northeast ***,the Paleocene legume fossil records indicate that legumes most likely immigrated to India from Africa via the Ladakh-Kohistan Arc during the early ***,previously reconstructed climate data from the Tura Formation indicate that legumes were well adapted to a warm seasonal climate with monsoon rains.
