Description: | Ullmannia frumentaria was a coniferous plant (similar to a pine tree) with leafy branches, that grew in the Sunderland area 250 million years ago, when the UK was much closer to the Equator than it is today. It was adapted to hot, dry conditions and probably grew near the shore of the inland Zechstein Sea which surounded the area at the time. | 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 |
