1. Title: A Jurassic Relic: Sagenopteris phillipsi, the Extinct Seed Fern from Cayton Bay, Yorkshire, England 2.. This image showcases an exquisite specimen of Sagenopteris phillipsi, an extinct seed fern from the Jurassic period. Discovered at Cayton Bay, Yorkshire, England, this remarkable find is now held at the esteemed Natural History Museum in London. The specimen, with its intricately detailed leaves, offers a glimpse into the prehistoric world of gymnosperms, a group of seed-producing plants that thrived during the Mesozoic Era. Sagenopteris phillipsi, a member of the Caytoniales order, is classified as a pteridosperm, a type of seed fern belonging to the Pteridospermatophyta division. Its palmate leaves, reminiscent of modern ferns, display a complex network of veins, adding to the plant's striking appearance. The Jurassic period, spanning from approximately 201 to 145 million years ago, was marked by the dominance of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. However, it was also a time when diverse plant life flourished, including various forms of gymnosperms and other seed-bearing plants. Sagenopteris phillipsi, with its unique features, is a testament to the rich biodiversity of this era. Paul Kenrick, a renowned British photographer, captured this stunning studio shot against a black background, emphasizing the specimen's intricate details and textures. The image invites us to explore the fascinating world of prehistoric flora and the wonders of the Phanerozoic Con, a geological con that spans from the Cambrian period to the present. As we marvel at this Jurassic relic, we are reminded of the incredible journey of plant evolution and the rich history that lies beneath our feet.
