Taxonomy from Fossilworks.org. Synonym: Palaeopteris Schimper 1869. The fossil wood known as Callixylon and the leaves known as Archaeopteris are actually part of the same plant. Diagnosis for Archaeopteris from Anderson et al. 1995, p. 310: “The sterile branching systems bear leaves attached either directly to the penultimate branch or to the ultimate branch. The leaves which flare from a narrow base become flabellate and rounded distally, and vary from nearly entire to deeply dissected (Beck, 1981: 199). The present collection fits more into the dissected end of the range. The fertile -branching systems produced ultimate fertile branches bearing leaves on the adaxial surface of which were borne sporangia and on occasion, basal and/or apical leaves which functioned primarily as photosynthetic organs. The new fertile material also bears sporangia on the adaxial surface of the leaves of the ultimate fertile branches and furthermore a few leaves also occur directly on the branch.” Line drawing of Archaeopteris from Beck 1962, p. 374: References: Beck, CB (1960).

Hello, I just uploaded my last short film on the first forests of the Middle Devonian. Automatic English subtitle translation doesn't sound too bad.
