Briefly, there are two different opinions concerning the first appearance of the Myricaceae in the fossil record.
The other view holds that the Myricaceae is instead a much later lineage, originating during the Eocene where there is more fossil evidence, and that the previous fossilized pollen was misidentified (Macdonald, 1989).
If Canacomyrica does indeed represent the basal lineage to the Myricaceae, than it would appear that the ability to nodulate occurred after the family had diverged or that the lineage leading to Canacomyrica lost the ability to nodulate.

 Fagales   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-20)
The leaf teeth in Juglandaceae, Rhoipteleaceae and Myricaceae are intermediate in "type", having a ± splayed, (non)glandular apex, and the main tooth vein is joined by branches that leave below, or one of the branches may proceed above the tooth (Hickey and Taylor 1991).
A number of taxa have pollen walls with small granules clustered around the aperture near the inside (Feuer 1991), and several features of wood anatomy, including the presence of chambered crystals in the axial parenchyma (although this may properly be a feature of Fagales as a whole, are also common in the group (Carlquist 2002c).
Myricaceae are woody plants recognisable by the aromatic glands that cover the plant coupled with the spiral, simple, rarely deeply lobed leaves.
