Product information "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 Devonian
