This XfrogPlants Araucaria 3D model collection contains three highly detailed, fully textured variations of the plant at different ages.

Tree, evergreen conifer
Period: Triassic to present day
Environment: hill forests and mountain tops
Climate: warm, temperate

Notes:
Araucariaceae is a very successful early conifer order who appeared on Earth in the Triassic period and lasted until today with several living species (amongst which the most famous is the so-called “Monkey puzzle tree”). The extinct species were more monumental than today’s survivors, as they were able to grow up to 40 meters high! The look of extinct species is also believed to have been different, more similar to today’s redwoods (especially in the old age).
