Fossil record

Ehretia europaea fossil seeds of the Chattian stage, Oligocene, are known from the Oberleichtersbach Formation in the Rhön Mountains, central Germany .[6] Endocarp fossils have been described from the Late Miocene locality of Pont-de-Gail in France and from the southern border of the Po Plain in northern Italy in two sites dated to the Zanclean and in three sites of supposed Zanclean age[7]
