Name: Cordaites Ludlowi

Period: Late Carboniferous to the Permian. 323 to 299 million years ago.

This Variation: This is a Low Poly model. A High Poly version is also available.

Notes: Extinct plant from the late Carboniferous to the Permian Period. Fossil specimens have been found in both drier hinterland regions as well as floodplains and swampy ground. It was more common in brackish, swamp areas, but it is notable for being able to colonise drier regions, a feature absent from many plants of this era. This seed plant had leathery, strap-shaped leaves and is thought to be closely related to conifers (at one time it was thought to be the ancestor of modern conifers, but this is no longer considered the case). Those that grew in swampy areas had a more extended stilt-root system than those that grew in drier areas. Fossils have been found mainly in Europe and Asia, but a more extensive range is evident.
