Fossil Friday: Lepidodendron Trunk
Jul. 1st, 2016 08:15 pmTwitter has alerted me to the fact that fossil Friday is a thing. I'm only tangentially interested in fossils, via B. and primeval fandom, however I have nevertheless grabbed the nearest dinosaur book (DK Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life) and turned to the first page where I was greeted by a picture of a Lepidodendron fossil.

Not this picture admittedly which is from Edgar L Owen.com
Lepidodendrons were club mosses (resembling palm trees) that grew up to 50m tall and lived in the Carboniferous. So now you know.
