Fossils (part 2)

As I mentioned in my last post, the winter months are the doldrums for flower photographers and so I’m filling in with my plant fossil collection. The Bic lighters have been included to give a sense of scale and to add a bit of color. People looking for flowers will be pleased to note that my crocuses are putting up quite a show this morning, so we will return to our regular programming tomorrow.

a) My only Australian fossil. These leaves are the grand daddy of those gumtrees you see everywhere ‘Down Under’.

b) I call this seed fern trace fossil ‘The Silver Fern’ for obvious reasons.

c) This is the root of a giant horsetail (the black dots are where the rootlets were attached). This is from a time in the Paleozoic when horsetails were a hundred feet tall (30 meters), not just a couple of feet like modern scouring rushes.

d) Our friend Gareth was a real botanist and he once told me that this lineage of fern has been extinct since the Devonian period (400 million years ago).

Some of the Magnificent Gum-Trees. Some, perhaps many of these big trees date from the early 1900s. That being the case I presume they are not original to the location but were planted by white people. But that is pure guess work.
