Description: | The branching stems near the edge of the specimen are Brachiphyllum mamillare the most common type of conifer found in the Jurassic rocks of Yorkshire. The leaf (made of lots of leaflets) in the centre of the specimen is Cycadites. It belongs to a group of plants called the Cycadales (the Cycads), which were most common and diverse in the Jurassic. Like most cycads, it was probably only a few metres tall with a very short trunk and had a crown of leaves a bit like a palm tree. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | fossils natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
