Description: | Equisitites was a plant that looked similar to the modern horsetail. It was an upright plant, with a tall, thin stem. These plants often grew in freshwater lagoons. During the Triassic, when the climate was quite dry, Equisetites would probably have grown inland by well established rivers. It is very similar to the modern horsetail plant which is cursed as a weed by many gardeners. | 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 |
