Bark of Lepidodendron

Leaf scars of Lepidodendron
Upper Carboniferous, Eygelshoven (NL)
Height of the photo 15 cm.

The scars on the surface of the fossil trunks of Lepidodendron indicate the place where the leaves were attached. In Lepidodendron these scars are arranged in oblique rows. In Sigillaria however they form vertical rows, mostly separated bij ridges.
