Dear Tatiana,

It strongly looks like Casuarina equisetifolia or cunninghamiana. Its origin is from Australia but the tree is invasive in several places from Africa to French Isles as you could see through the following links.

Dear All,

I found this macroremain in a excavation in Peruvian central coast. I
have no idea what it could be. Does anyone have an idea?

I thank you for your help.

Yours faithfully,

Tatiana Stellian
