Name: Calamites Carinatus
Period: Carboniferous to early Permian. 360 to 250 million years ago.
Notes: An extinct, tree-sized plants that lived during the Carboniferous and early Permian periods to which the modern horsetails (genus Equisetum) are closely related. Unlike their herbaceous modern counterparts, these plants were medium-sized trees which grew to heights of more than 10 meters. Although its stem was woody, it was nonetheless a delicate plant that grew in the sub-story of prehistoric forests. Several sub-genera of Calamites existed, this species fell into the category Diplocalamites and were distinct from other Calamites in that their terrestrial parts branched sparingly from its central stem, and the branches then further branched which was unusual for Calamites. These plants grew from an underground connected network of rhizomes as well as from seeds. It appears to have preferred sandy riverbanks and floodplains. Fossils have been found virtually the world over suggesting the plant had a global range.
