Fossil Plants For Sale

Fossil Plants For Sale – At the present time it is believed that terrestrial plants first appeared during the Cambrian Period around 500 million years ago.

The evolution of plants was a slow progression but by the late Devonian there were forests of large primitive plants in abundance.

Many plant fossils are preserved by becoming permeated with mineral solutions which subsequently harden and turn to stone.

The leaves are frequently reduced to a carbon film in a process known as carbonization or distillation.

The internal anatomy of leaves is often lost, but occasionally cell walls and even cell contents may be preserved by permineralization.

We offer a large selection of fossil plants for sale coming from the Late Carboniferous Period 318 million years ago to the Oligocene Period 33 million years ago.
