Product information "Samaropsis sp., Carboniferous; GER"

Beautifully preserved seeds of the extinct plant Cordaites.
In the cool forests of the Russian-Siberian platform there was a great variety of these seed-bearing plants.
Some of them preferred swamp-like conditions and grew like mangroves. This group has some relationship to modern conifers and may represent some of the earliest cone-bearing plants on earth.

It's worth a look with a magnifying glass!
