Brachyphyllum cf. gracile, Jurassic; GER
Brachyphyllum cf. gracile, Jurassic; 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, GermanySize: approx. 9 x 7 cm; length of branch: 2,5 cmColors in product photos may differ from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.

Araucaria wood, polished, Triassic; MDG
Araucaria wood, polished, Triassic; MDG
Araucarias are conifers with hard, pointed and blade-shaped leaves. Currently they are only found in South America and Oceania, which is a relic of their distribution on the southern prehistoric continent of Gondwana, that split into South America, Africa, India, Antarctica and Australia.Their wood fossilized as it became saturated with silica-containing water in the absence of oxygen. This water precipitated in the interstices as quartz, chalcedony or opal and replaced the wood, which was slowly decomposed by anaerobic bacteria. Other minerals in the water, mostly iron oxides, provided the coloration.Age: TriassicLocality: MadagascarSize: 2 - 3 cmColors on product photos may differ from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.Our photos serve as a reference, you will receive a piece of comparable quality with your purchase.

The Ginkgo is one among the ‘living fossils’. Its only living representative, Ginkgo biloba, is native to China, but is used worldwide as a decorative plant.Ginkgoites huttonii is an extinct species belonging to the Ginkgoaceae family.  This genus of relatively rare, non-flowering plants first appeared in the Permian geological epoch 250 million years ago. Evolution within the genus was slow and almost all species were extinct by the end of Pliocene.The specimen shown here stems from Jurassic sediments on the North Sea coast of England. The deeply incised leaves of this fossil specimen are very similar to those of the modern species.Age: Jurassic, Upper Lias;Locality: Scarborough, North Yorkshire, EnglandSize: 14 x 11.7 cm, larger ginkgo leaves: approx. 7 cmColors in product photos may differ slightly from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.

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.Age: PermianLocality: Dunedoo, New South Wales, AustraliaSize: 14.5 x 13 x 4 cmColors on photos may differ slightly from the original due to technical reasons.

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!Age: Upper Carboniferous, Westphalian A, Kohlscheid strata;Locality: Pit Anna, Alsdorf, Aachener coalfield, North Rhine-Westphalia, GermanySize: approx. 11 x 7 cmColors on product photos may differ from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.

Seed fern in claystone geode, Carboniferous; GBR
Seed fern in claystone geode, Carboniferous; GBR
Beautiful, rare and well-preserved plant fossil from the well-known site of Dudley, the capital of the so-called “Black County”.The fine leaf structures are very recognizable.A fossil of this plant was found in the coalfields of Dudley in the 1880s. Neuropteris was a genus of seed fern that existed during the Carboniferous period some 300 to 200 million years ago. Neuropteris fossils are important for understanding the early evolution of seed plants. They show features such as megasporangia and developing integuments, which are the precursors to the development of actual seeds.Age: Middle Upper Carboniferous; Locality: Dudley, Staffordshire, West Midlands, EnglandSize: 7.5 x 11 cmColors on product photos may differ slightly from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.

Seed: Trigonocarpus noeggerathi, Carboniferous, GER
Seed: Trigonocarpus noeggerathi, Carboniferous, GER
This is a fossilized seed from the Upper Carboniferous period (around 323-299 million years ago),which belongs to the extinct seed ferns.The species was named after German paleontologist Ernst Friedrich von Schlotheim and botanistJohann Jakob Nöggerath. Trigonocarpus seeds are often associated with the giant lycopsids of the genus Lepidodendron, as they occur in the same strata and have morphological similarities.Delivery includes the original vintage label.Age: CarboniferousLocality: Saarbrücken, Saarland, GermanySize of fossil: approx. 3.2 cmColors on product photos may differ from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.

Silicified fossil wood, Permian, GER
Silicified fossil wood, Permian, GER
Silicified wood in the palatinate region is mainly driftwood that was deposited in sandstone and gradually filled and replaced with silica. The coloration is a result of iron oxides, which give the Rotliegend its name. The most common species in this area is Dadoxylon.Beautifully polished, making the wood structure easily recognizable.Age: Permian, Rotliegend/Capitanian (approx. 260 million years)Locality: Reichweiler, Rhineland-Palatinate, GermanySize: 21.5 x 10.5 x 4 cmColors on photos may differ slightly from those of the original piece due to technical reasons.

Taeniocrada decheniana, Devonian, GER
Taeniocrada decheniana, Devonian, GER
Taeniocrada, a species of extinct leafless plants, is one of the earliest land plants.This specimen was found in the Lower Devonian of the Brohl Valley.It is often associated with the so-called rhyniophytes or similar primitive vascular plants, which played a key role in plant evolution.They have been found to be important for understanding the evolution of early vascular plants and show transitional features between aquatic and terrestrial life forms.Taeniocrada represents a phase of plant evolution in which simple structures dominated and more complex flora such as ferns and seed plants developed later.The piece shows plant remains on both sides of the rock.Age: Lower DevonianLocality: Kempenich, Eifel, Rhineland-Palatinate, GermanySize: approx. 18.5 x 9 x 2 cmColors on the product photos may differ slightly from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.
