Gymnosperm Early Cretaceous Crato Formation, Nova Olinda, Ceará, Brazil The gymnosperms are a group of seed-bearing plants that includes conifers and cycads. Offered is a large and beautifully preserved herbaceous plant displaying the primary root as well as gorgeous delicate leaf and stem details. Plants do not fossilize as well as bones, due to the fragile nature of cellulose, which easily decays before fossilization can occur; therefore, it is uncommon to find such a large and finely preserved fossil plant as this. On irregularly shaped limestone, this piece illustrates nature's artistry at its most aesthetically pleasing. Matrix measures 51 x 35 centimeters
