Description: | Purton [Quarry], nr. Stoke Edith, Herefordshire, [England] Downtonian, Silurian (Upper) 26/4/95 - on loan to CJB - GEO2010. Checked and returned, 30/7/96, 26/11/99 (2337) and 24/1/2002 (now under loan 2520) - JJL. Formerly referred to as *Pachytheca sp.* (Hooker) and *Nematophyton sp.* (Penhallow & Dawson). Fragments of plants of tree-like dimensions. Microscopical examination shows that the tissues were not like those of living trees but resemble the tissues found in the stalks of the larger seaweeds. They evidently are parts of what were called 'Thallophytes'. They are an early plant 'experiment' which is generally regarded as bearing no relationship to any known group of plants. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | PLANTALGAGREEN : PLANTMISC : FOSSIL : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
