2019年12月19日 · An aerial view of a fossil of Archaeopteris, a 385-million-year-old tree with surprisingly modern-looking roots. William Stein and Christopher Berry

Archaeopteris, genus of plants that was probably the first true tree to form forests during the Late Devonian Epoch (about 385 to 359 million years ago). Fossils of Archaeopteris confirm the presence of a woody trunk and branching patterns similar to those of modern conifers, but with fernlike foliage and reproduction based

Scientists have discovered the world's oldest forest in an abandoned quarry near Cairo, New York. The 385-million-year-old rocks contain the fossilized woody roots of dozens of ancient trees. The find marks a turning point in Earth's history.

2017年3月29日 · Archaeopteris, an extinct tree that made up most of the forests across the earth's surface in the late Devonian period, is considered by scientists to be the first modern tree. New collected pieces of fossils of the tree's wood from Morocco have filled in parts of the puzzle to shed new light.

1999年4月22日 · Here we describe the largest group of anatomically preserved Archaeopteris remains ever found, from the Famennian marine beds of south-eastern Morocco 6, and provide the first evidence that, in...

1999年4月22日 · Archaeopteris, an extinct tree that made up most of the forests across the earth in the Late Devonian period, had the same structure as modern trees, report three scientists in the April 22,...

Archaeopteris is an extinct genus of pro gymnosperm tree with fern -like leaves. This tree is found in strata from the Upper Devonian to Lower Carboniferous. For a while, 383 to 323 million years ago, it was the dominant tree all over the Earth. [1] . They had a world-wide distribution.

1999年4月22日 · The first real tree that grew on Earth has been identified, scientists believe. Called Archaeopteris, it filled forests 370 million ago.

2019年12月19日 · Although this tree behaved more like a fern during reproduction, by releasing spores into the air instead of forming seeds, it had early hints at what would one day become seed plants: Archaeopteris are the first known plants to form leaves, and were large woody plants formed from secondary tissues. At Cairo, this tree was now found to also ...

2019年12月20日 · One of the three different root systems in the Cairo forest anchored a palm tree-like species called Eospermatopteris. The species was also found at the Gilboa site, suggesting the tree was an...

Spreading around the world during Upper Devonian time, Archaeopteris became the main constituent of Earth’s first forests. Archaeopteris existed for only a few tens of million of years, but is well known to paleontologists and is recognized as the first plant truly worthy of the name “tree”.

Archaeopteris possesses a eustele with a ring of mesarch primary bundles surrounding a pith (Fig. 1.94A). The primary bundles are surrounded by thick-walled, compactly arranged secondary xylem (pycnoxylic wood), composed of radially arranged tracheids and narrow rays.

1999年4月22日 · Here we describe the largest group of anatomically preserved Archaeopteris remains ever found, from the Famennian marine beds of south-eastern Morocco, and provide the first evidence that, in ...

2023年2月2日 · Archaeopteris had all the anatomical features of today’s trees—a woody trunk protected by an exterior of bark, with deep and extensive roots, as well as branches from which grew leaves.

2022年10月10日 · Archaeopteris was a tree-like plant with fern-like leaves but it wasn't a true tree as it didn't have woody tissue. These plants typically grew up to 30 m in height and their trunks could reach up to 1.5 m in diameter.

2024年9月23日 · Archaeopteris is an extinct genus of tree-like plants with fern-like leaves. A useful index fossil, this tree is found in strata dating from the Upper Devonian to Lower Carboniferous (383 to 323 million years ago), and has a global distribution.

2019年12月19日 · While sifting through fossil soils in the Catskill region near Cairo, N.Y., researchers uncovered the extensive root system of 385-million-year old trees that existed during the Devonian Period.
