Carboniferous Fossil Plant - 10.24" Lepidodendron branches and leaves protomammal decaying bodies were less likely

decaying bodies were less likely to be picked apart for meat and left undisturbed

Carbon dioxide and methane releases triggered by the Siberian Traps caused runaway global warming

scientists are still unclear on the exact connection between these two successful evolutionary lines

A shift in climate and a decline in tropical zones brought about expansive plains and grasslands

Carboniferous Fossil Plant - 10.24" Lepidodendron branches and leaves protomammal decaying bodies were less likely300,000,000 years ago, in the Carboniferous period, Earth was a dense tropical jungle. Lush forests were home to all manner of prehistoric creatures and swampy landscapes covered the surface. We know of this incredible time thanks to the fossil imprints left behind by plants that were preserved for millions of years. This specimen is a 10. 24" fossil plant from the genus Lepidodendron that was recovered from a coal bed in Kentucky. Mining sites like
