Cladoxylopsid
The cladoxylopsids are an extinct group of plants related to ferns and sphenopsids. They had a central trunk, from the top of which several lateral branches were attached. Fossils of these plants originate in the Middle Devonian to Early Carboniferous periods (around ), mostly just as stems. Cladoxylopsida contains two orders. The order Hyeniales is now included in Pseudosporochnales. Intact fossils of the Middle Devonian cladoxylopsid '' Wattieza'' show it to have been a tree, the earliest identified in the fossil record as of 2007. In 2019, experts from Cardiff University, UK; Binghamton University and the New York State Museum discovered more fossils of Cladoxylopsida and Archaeopteris in a quarry in Cairo, New York. A recent (2017) discovery in Xinjiang in China of early Late Devonian (Frasnian The Frasnian is one of two faunal stages in the Late Devonian Period. It lasted from million years ago to million years ago. It was preceded by the Givetian Stage and followe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eospermatopteris Erianus
''Wattieza'' was a genus of prehistoric trees that existed in the mid-Devonian that belong to the cladoxylopsids, close relatives of the modern ferns and horsetails. The 2005 (publicly revealed in 2007) discovery in Schoharie County, New York, of fossils from the Middle Devonian about 385 million years ago united the crown of ''Wattieza'' to a root and trunk known since 1870. The fossilized grove of "Gilboa stumps" discovered at Gilboa, New York, were described as ''Eospermatopteris'', though the complete plant remained unknown. These fossils have been described as the earliest known trees, standing 8 m (26 ft) or more tall, resembling the unrelated modern tree fern.Stein, W. E., F. Mannolini, L. V. Hernick, E. Landling, and C. M. Berry. 2007"Giant cladoxylopsid trees resolve the enigma of the Earth's earliest forest stumps at Gilboa" ''Nature'' (19 April 2007) 446:904-907. ''Wattieza'' had fronds rather than leaves, and they reproduced with spores. Belgian paleob ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
