Product information "Glossopteris browniana, Permian, AUS"
Cut panel with several large Glossopteris leaves. Strong red tones stand out against the pink matrix and small veins in the leaves are extremely detailed.
Glossopteris was an arborescent seed fern, a group of distantly related plants that testify to the transition of ferns to seed plants. As the namesake of the Glossopteris flora, they are of extreme palaeontological importance. Since they appeared in Australia, Antarctica as well as in Africa and South America, their distribution was seen as one of the many evidences of plate tectonics and continental drift. The disintegration of Gondwana, where the plant actually grew, gave rise to all these continents.
