This stunning print captures the intricate details of an Acacia-like pod, measuring 14 cm long, from the Eocene period in the Paris Basin. Fossilized to perfection, this leguminous specimen showcases the beauty and complexity of ancient plant life in France. The pea-shaped pod belongs to the Fabaceae family, commonly known as legumes, and is a testament to the diversity of flora that once thrived in Europe during the Eocene era.
Dr. Paul Davis expertly photographed this fossil against a striking black background, highlighting its delicate features and unique characteristics. As a flowering plant belonging to the dicotyledon group, this Acacia-like pod represents an important piece of botanical history from millions of years ago.
The image was captured by renowned paleobotanist Dr. Paul Kenrick, whose expertise in Eurosid plants has shed light on the evolution of angiosperms throughout geological time periods. This particular specimen falls under the order Fabales within the phylum Magnoliophyta, showcasing its significance within the Cenozoic era.
