XfrogPlants Sigillaria
( Sigillaria scutellata )

This XfrogPlants Sigillaria 3D model collection contains
three
highly detailed, fully textured variations of the plant at different ages.
Arboreal Plant
Period: Carboniferous to early Permian
Environment: swamps and floodplain forests
Climate: warm and humid
Notes: The “twin” of Lepidodendron, Sigillaria (with it’s several species) shared with it the domination over the huge humid Carboniferous forests. Like Lepidodendron, Sigillaria has the so-called “stigmaria” Y-shaped roots, and a trunk marked by the scars of fallen leaves, which, in the case of Sigillaria, look like round marks left by a seal (hence the “Sigillaria” name). The most distinctive feature of Sigillaria was the trunk, which was also Y-shaped and ended with two thick bunches of leaves that, in adult individuals, could in turn split and become four. The fruits were hanging cones.
