AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Massive specimen (17 x 13.5 x 3.8 cm) of Syringodendron, the bark of the trunk of the extinct wolf's-claw-like Sigillaria sp.
A 'tree-like wolf's claw' refers to extinct ancestors of the current wolf's claws, such as Sigillaria (seal tree) and Lepidodendron (scale tree), which could grow up to 30 meters tall.
Today, wolfsklauwen are nothing more than herbaceous land plants.
For a long time, wolf's claw trees formed a very important part of the flora of the Carboniferous swamps, from which coal later originated.
Find site: mine tailings of Heusden-Zolder, Limburg, Flanders, Belgium.
