  abstract = {{N}ew {C}aledonia was, until recently, considered an old continental island harbouring a rich biota with outstanding {G}ondwanan relicts. {H}owever, deep marine sedimentation and tectonic evidence suggest complete submergence of the island during the latest {C}retaceous to the {P}aleocene. {M}olecular phylogenies provide evidence for some deeply-diverging clades that may predate the {E}ocene and abundant post-{O}ligocene colonisation events. {E}xtinction and colonization biases, as well as survival of some groups in refuges on neighbouring paleo-islands, may have obscured biogeographic trends over long time scales. {F}ossil data are therefore crucial for understanding the history of the {N}ew {C}aledonian biota, but occurrences are sparse and have received only limited attention. {H}ere we describe five exceptional fossil assemblages that provide important new insights into {N}ew {C}aledonia's terrestrial paleobiota from three key time intervals: prior to the submersion of the island, following re-emergence, and prior to {P}leistocene climatic shifts. {T}hese will be of major importance for elucidating changes in {N}ew {C}aledonia's floristic composition over time.},
