 Please be patient as there are many images to view 


The Devonian Period was when the evolution of the plants began to colonize dry land at a tremendous rate. At this time the most luxuriant vegetation was to be found in the tropics, but plants also carpeted the colder climate land masses. The fossil record shows that plants, especially ferns, covered much of the United States. Trees, as we know them today, did not exist during the Devonian period. In close association with this explosive spread, plants also diversified into numerous species that are still with us today.


   

 

PLANT  FOSSILS  FROM  AUSTRALIA
 



Up to this age the vegetation was mainly ferns, cycads and conifers. Glossopteris was the ancestor to all broadleaf plants like magnolia and which were to come later the maples, oaks, elms sycamores etc. With the destruction of nearly 85% of all life due to some catastrophe it's a rarity to find any fossils during this age.
