docdutronc Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 These lepidodendron branches from belledonne sud france are more thin than lepidodendron from Lievin north france ,the forms from north are bulky , perhaps Stephanian period are the beginning of regression of lepidophyta flora ? I would see lepidodendroïd species from USA !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 ...perhaps Stephanian period are the beginning of regression of lepidophyta flora? Interesting hypothesis, though one cannot be sure that it was not due to some local bottleneck in that dark laboratory we call "soil". Come to think of it, has there been any work done on Carboniferous soils? If so, I assume it would have to be largely theoretical, through inference.

I may be thinking of something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
