Approximate distribution of seasonally dry forest in Mexico (outlined) (12). Tertiary plant macrofossils in Mexico are known only from a mid-Pliocene (3–5 Ma) site (yellow circle), and from an upper Oligocene (28–24 Ma) site (red circle) (16).
The North American origin and dispersal hypothesis for Burseraceae modified from ref. . Map shows Eocene shorelines (53 Ma) and early Eocene fossil locations of Burseraceae (blue circles).
