Description: | This branching stem is from the crown of a Club Moss tree. The diamond-shaped pattern on the stem was made by the leaves that were once attached to it. The stem would also have had branches and these were arranged spirally in Halonia. Club Mosses grew much faster than present day trees and Halonia reached a height of 30 metres in 10 to 15 years. They were the dominant plants in the Carboniferous tropical rain forests. | 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 |
