Description: | This fossil is a section between two joints of the stem of a Horsetail tree Calamites. The plant leaves grew out of joints in the stem. They were common plants that grew up to 10m tall in the Carboniferous rain forest and often formed thickets along the edges of rivers and lakes. They reproduced from spores that grew in cases (sporangia) arranged in cones attached to the tips of stems. | 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 |
