Product information " Brachyphyllum cf. gracile, Jurassic; Solnhofen, GER"
Fossilized branches and leaves of conifers are called Brachyphyllum. They are probably remains of araucaria.
A series of lagoons in southern Germany, the Solnhofen Sea, evaporated cyclically and became highly saline and oxygen-depleted. As a result, all life in them died and was completely buried. Of course, this also affected submerged plants and their decomposers.
Age: Upper Jurassic, Lower Tithonian, Mörnsheim strata;
Locality: Mühlheim near Mörnsheim, Gailachtal, district of Eichstätt, Bavaria, Germany
Size: approx. 15,5 x 8,5 cm; length of branch: 13 cm
