Taxodium at Ellecom (NL): a living fossil.
This website is dedicated to fossil plants. It is more than
400 million years ago, in the Silurian, that the first land plants came into
existence and the continents turned to green. This was the beginning of an
amazing development, which created the terms for animal life on land. On the basis of self-found fossils a view is given of plant life in the Silurian, the Devonian, the Carboniferous and the Permian. Enjoy the beauty and the multitude of forms of long vanished plants! And now a little bit Cretaceous! |
