Pachypteris (Pachypteris sp.)
arboreal plant
   
Period: Triassic to Cretaceous
Environment : humid places, stagnating waters, sea coasts, salt ponds
Climate : warm and humid

Notes :
Pachypteris covered all the Mesozoic era from Triassic to Cretaceous, but reached it’s peak in the Jurassic, when it was one of the most important components of ground flora. It was a low-growing plant with a woody trunk, whose leaves were covered with a think external layer of a substance similar to wax. It was certainly featured as a prominent groundcover species in all humid areas. It was salt-resistant and therefore it could grow next to sea coasts, and even directly in salt-ponds as well. Pachypteris was one of the last Pteridosperms to disappear with the Cretaceous mass extinction.
