Whole plant reconstructions
Different organs attributed to the same original plant can be reconstructed from co-occurrence at the same locality and from similarities in the stomatal apparatus and other anatomical peculiarities of fossilized cuticles.
- Sagenopteris phillipsii may have been produced by the same plant as Caytonia nathorstii (ovulate organs) and Caytonanthus arberi (pollen organs).
gollark: It would take about 1.5 minutes to charge this capacitor off normal mains pre-toasting, which might be an issue.
gollark: Do you mind having metallized toast?
gollark: Maybe if your toast is metal, you could use an induction heater.
gollark: The spacing in time matters too.
gollark: Not really.
