Lepidodendron is an extinct genus of primitive lycopodian vascular plants belonging the order Lepidodendrales.It is well preserved and common in the fossil record. Like other Lepidodendrales, species of Lepidodendron grew as large-tree-like plants in wetland coal forest environments.
Lepidodendrales (from the Greek for "scale tree") or arborescent lycophytes are an extinct order of primitive, vascular, heterosporous, arborescent (tree-like) plants belonging to Lycopodiopsida. Members of Lepidodendrales are the best understood of the fossil lycopsids due to the vast diversity of Lepidodendrales specimens and the diversity in ...
The sand inside the trunks became solid rock, and the outer bark of the lycopsids became a thin layer of coal. Though some trunks are elliptical, especially the tallest, Lepidodendron lycopsids were typically circular. The deformations were likely caused by the force of the rising flood waters that filled the trunks with sand, as indicated by ...
During the Carboniferous, tree-like plants (such as Lepidodendron, Sigillaria, and other extinct genera of the order Lepidodendrales) formed huge forests that dominated the landscape. Unlike modern trees, leaves grew out of the entire surface of the trunk and branches, but fell off as the plant grew, leaving only a small cluster of leaves at ...
With science you can build a complex explanation for an observation as high as a house of cards or you could invoke Occam’s razor and shave it down to the essential facts. However, the simplest explanation, rather than the most convoluted, will usually suffice. So, if you’d like to get the facts straight, read Deceived

[2] [3] Lycophytes were some of the dominating plant species of the Carboniferous period, and included the tree-like Lepidodendrales, some of which grew over 40 metres (130 ft) in height, although extant lycophytes are relatively small plants. [4] The scientific names and the informal English names used for this group of plants are ambiguous.
