XfrogPlants Glossopteris
( Glossopteris sp. )

This XfrogPlants Glossopteris 3D model collection contains
three
highly detailed, fully textured variations of the plant at different ages.
Seed Plant
Period: Permian to Triassic
Environment: humid plains
Climate: warm and humid
Notes: Glossopteris is the most important of those Pteridosperms (seed plants) who dominated the Permian period. Over 70 fossil species of the Glossopteridales genus alone have been found so far! The reproductive system of Glossopteris was located on the leaves (some leaves were dedicated to the reproduction task). Also unusual are the roots, with their regular partitions that looked like animal vertebrae. Glossopteridales decreased in number after Permian, to be completely extinct at the end of Triassic.
