Description: | These thin stems are from the end of a branch in the crown of a Club Moss tree. The stems are covered by scale leaves that are attached directly to them. Club Mosses grew much faster than present day trees and Lepidodendron reaching maturity and a height of 40 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 |
