Describing the cones & seeds of extinct #conifer species---using CT and 3D visualization---that co-existed with the dinosaurs 150 million years ago in what is today the state of Utah. New #AJB research by @mariahmhowell.bsky.social et al. doi.org/10.1002/ajb2... #botany #paleobotany #fossils
Using an industrial-strength CT scanner, the authors of this study were able to look inside a new species of a 151-million-year-old conifer cone from Utah to see the three spirals of seeds preserved inside, without having to cut open the precious fossil.

Pense: Esta árvore viveu na Era Paleozoica, já era um fóssil quando o primeiro dinossauro pisou na Terra. E continua em pé. Floresta Petrificada de Teresina, Rio Poty.
A foto mostra um tronco petrificado de cor cinza-rosa, de 80cm de altura e 70 de diâmetro, em posição quase vertical (um pouco torta) aflorando entre o leito rochoso. Um paleontólogo com chapéu roupas verdes indica o centro dos anéis de crescimento neste tronco. Ao redor, vegetação rasteira seca. Ao fundo, vegetação ripária e algumas árvores. Céu azul com algumas nuvens.

I'm at the Paläontologisches Museum München this week, working on some long-overdue projects 🙃 They have cool #fossils in the exhibit hall but this is my favorite: a giant slice from the trunk of a redwood #tree (Sequoia sp. ) that was growing in the US ~16 million years ago. 🌲⛏️ #paleobotany
The whole slice of fossil trunk. It's about 1.8 meters in diameter - taller than me. (There's also part of a fossil palm tree trunk on the right) Close up of the fossil trunk showing the center on the left and the growth rings (there are ~250 rings in total)

2022: Oldest leaf mine trace fossil from East #Asia provides insight into ancient nutritional flow in a plant–herbivore interaction #ichnology #paleobotany #palaeobotany Yume Imada, Nozomu Oyama, Kenji Shinoda, Humio Takahashi & Hirokazu Yukawa
From paper: Late Triassic leaf-mine fossil on Cladophlebis denticulata of the Momonoki Formation, Yamaguchi, Japan. (A) Specimen (MMHF11-00001a), on which mines on pinnules and chewing marks are marked with white arrowheads and yellow asterisks, respectively, and (B) its counterpart (MMHF11-00001b), at approximately the same scale. (C) Enlargement of pinna with three mines; orange arrowheads signify putative starting point (i.e., oviposition site) of leaf-mines; however, the starting point of the mine on the right is unseen. (D) Enlargement of two pinnules shows the transition of the frass trail, suggesting larval development while mining, and (E) its counterpart at the same scale. Arrowheads in orange and blue denote an oviposition site (os) and possible pupal chamber (pc), respectively.
