Description: | The regular pattern on this Club Moss stem was formed by the scaly leaves that covered it. Club Mosses grew in a different way to present day trees and some reached a height of more than 30 metres in 10 to 15 years. They were among the most common plants in the tropical rain forests of the Carboniferous period. | 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 |
