Palaeophytocrene foveolata was another Phytocreneae fruit with a deeply sculpted endocarp. Its surface carried many pits, more numerous and smaller than in P. ambigua, and each was associated with a substantial projection into the seed cavity. The locule lining is papillate and the seed coat preserves inflated cells, providing unusually detailed reproductive anatomy.

This construction shows why apparently similar pitted London Clay fruits cannot be grouped by surface texture alone. In P. foveolata the tubercles are relatively broad and deep, and their sides are more parallel than the sloping tubercles seen in some living comparisons. The endocarp surface can be damaged enough to suggest extra ridges that may be taphonomic. Its whole-plant architecture is not preserved, but the fruit anatomy securely places it within the Phytocreneae radiation of Icacinaceae.
