Agathoxylon
Created by Magnanimous Matt
Agathoxylon is a genus of fossil wood similar to the modern Araucariaceae conifers. These ones are intended to be some of the residents of the Petrified Forest in Arizona—home of Coelophysis—called Agathoxylon (or Araucarioxylon) arizonicum. They were mass...
Baiera
Created by Magnanimous Matt
Baiera was a tree of the family that contains the modern Ginkgo. It's a leaf genus, assigned solely by the morphology of those structures, so it was probably a diverse group. Its longevity sure seems to suggest that; Baiera came to be in the Permian and di...
Bennettites (Arborescent)
Created by Magnanimous Matt
Bennettitales were a group of gymnosperm plants that dominated the earth during the Triassic and Jurassic periods, especially in Laurasia. They lost their dominance during the Cretaceous before going extinct sometime in the Cenozoic. Some were cycad-like i...
Cycas armstrongii
Created by Magnanimous Matt
A modern cycad from the Northern Territory of Australia. It can be used as many a shade of cycad, though, so don't hesitate to place it in your Jurassic and Cretaceous exhibits. There's male and female models....
Devonian Plant
Created by Magnanimous Matt
I wanted to make some plants to accompany my Prototaxites, but to be honest, Early Devonian plants were so damn tiny that they aren't worth spending much effort on. I think I'll leave it at this zosterophyll-looking thingy....

Metasequoia glyptostroboides
Created by Magnanimous Matt
Metasequoia glyptostroboides, the dawn redwood, is one of three still-living species of redwood. It's set apart by its deciduous foliage, its love for wet soil and its wide base. Though it is only native to a few regions of China in the modern day, this ge...
Neocalamites
Created by Magnanimous Matt
A large sphenopsid (horsetail) from Paleozoic times which hung on till the Early Jurassic. I found no better-looking way to depict the sterile stems than with the regular in-game horsetails, but the fertile stems are by yours truly....
New Zealand Kauri
Created by Magnanimous Matt
Agathis australis is a conifer from the northern island of New Zealand. It can live for thousands of years and grow to tower over the forest canopy. It's currently threatened by a very lethal tree disease. Fossils which can be confidently assigned to Agath...
Nilssoniocladus yukonensis
Created by Magnanimous Matt
Nilssoniocladus was a deciduous genus of... well, probably bennettite, which lived in the northern hemisphere during the latter half of the Cretaceous. It was a form genus of a short shoot, which would've borne a cluster of Nilssoniopteris leaves and dropp...
Pelourdea
Created by Magnanimous Matt
This one's a bit mysterious, but it was probably an herbaceous conifer (yes, those existed). It had triangular leaves which clasped around a single stem. The plant grew near water. It has been found in Triassic North America and Middle Jurassic Britain, so...
Prototaxites

Tempskya
Created by Magnanimous Matt
This extinct genus of tree fern was peculiar in that fronds grew from all along its "trunk" rather than just at the crown. It lived in swampy areas, basically worldwide but especially in the northern hemisphere, during around the first three-fourths of the...
Wielandiella angustifolia
Created by Magnanimous Matt
This extinct plant was a bennettite from the latest Triassic and the Jurassic. It grew well in moist and recently disturbed areas like lakeshores and floodplains. These models all bear showy female cones since I found the male plants too tough with what pi...
Young Wollemi Pines - no Cones
