XfrogPlants Macrotaeniopteris
( Macrotaeniopteris magnifolia )

This XfrogPlants Macrotaeniopteris 3D model collection contains
three
highly detailed, fully textured variations of the plant at different ages.
Cycadale
Period: Triassic
Environment: swamps, river borders
Climate: warm and humid
Notes: Macrotaeniopteridae was a genus of Triassic flora which belonged to the Cycadales. The magnifolia species consisted in a single, giant leaf growing on small trunks, often underwater. The cone-like inflorescence was apparently a series of seeds tightly pressed on a small stem growing at the base of the plant: the reproductive structure as a whole resembled tiny loose cones. Macrotaeniopteris grew together with other swamp vegetation of the time.
