Summary
[edit]DescriptionPalmites sp FOBU446 fossil.tiff |
English: The presence of palm fossils indicate a much warmer and wetter climate 52 million years ago, similar to the Gulf coast states today. The specimen is approximately 2 meters long and is on display at the Mesalands Dinosaur Museum in New Mexico. Catalog number FOBU446.[1]
Palm - Palmites species Order Arecales, Family Aracacea Palm inflorescences (a group of flowers arranged on a stem) and palm fronds (pictured here) are common fossil specimens from the FBM. Variation in morphology of specimens indicates Fossil Lake may have been home to several palm species. No FBM palm species have been described as of yet. Abundance of large and complete palm frond specimens suggests there may have been palm trees near the shores of Fossil Lake. There are over 2,000 living palm species, found naturally in tropical, sub-tropical, and humid environments. Palm specimens are indicators of a warm, sub-tropical environment at Fossil Lake.[2] |
