EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from Wilhelm Bolsche's "Prehistoric Life," published in 1932 by Georg Dollheimer in Leipzig, we are transported back in time to the Carboniferous era, also known as the Coal Forest era, approximately 359 to 299 million years ago. During this period, the Earth's climate was warmer and wetter than it is today, leading to the growth of vast forests teeming with unique and diverse flora. Among these ancient plants was the extinct arborescent genus Sigillaria. Sigillaria were tree-like plants that grew up to 30 feet tall and were characterized by their large, circular leaves, which resembled the imprints left by seals in wet clay, hence the name Sigillaria, derived from the Latin word for seal. These plants were not true trees but rather belonged to the Calamites, a group of extinct vascular plants that were more closely related to modern horsetails than to trees. The Sigillaria genus is of particular interest to paleontologists and zoologists as they provide valuable insights into the early evolution of terrestrial vegetation. Their presence in the Carboniferous period marked a significant step in the development of land plants, paving the way for the emergence of true trees and forests. This illustration, with its intricate details and lifelike quality, offers a glimpse into the prehistoric world, allowing us to imagine the lush, verdant landscapes that once covered our planet. The towering Sigillaria trees, with their circular leaves, stand proudly against the backdrop of a prehistoric world teeming with marine creatures and other fascinating prehistoric life forms. This image serves as a reminder of the rich diversity of life that has existed on Earth throughout the ages and the ongoing quest to uncover the secrets of our planet's past.
