Description: | These leaves are part of a large compound leaf known as a frond. Ferns are the most advanced pollen bearing plants and were an important plant in tropical coal forests. There were a variety of forms from small scrambling plants to tree ferns that grew up to 8m tall. Ferns have continued to evolve and diversify since the Carboniferous and are found in many different plant communities today. | 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 |
