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. Model 1 specs: 3 meters Model 2 specs: 2 meters Model 3 specs: 1 meter |
