Calamite Fossils, 300 Million Years Old, Three 360 Degree Specimens To Choose From - Free US Shipping
$35.00+
Calamites were the first tree-like plants to grow on land and three different detailed examples of their fossils are offered in this listing. I collected these in Eastern Oklahoma, removing them from an outcrop of rock dating to the Carboniferous Period. The trees that provided the molds for these pieces died some 300 million years ago.
Calamites are often referred to as "horsetail trees" and grew to a height of 100 feet. The modern horsetail plant is the only direct relative of the calamites alive today.
The fossils were created when sediment found its way into the hollow inner cavities of the calamite trunks and solidified, preserving a 360 degree impression of the plant interior.
There are six photos of each specimen, each showing a different side of the fossils.
Piece A: Weight of 3.59 ounces. Dimensions of 2-3/4 x 2-1/3 x 3/4 inches.
Piece B: Weight of 6.15 ounces. Dimensions of 3-1/3 x 1-5/8 x 2-1/3 inches.
Piece C: Weight of 8.55 Ounces. Dimensions of 3-1/4 x 2 x 1-1/3 inches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't you ship live plants to locations within the state of California?
Unfortunately, I lack the certifications required by the California Department Of Agriculture that would allow me to ship live plants to those residing in the state of California.
