This is a very colorful, complete cross section slab from the trunk of a fossil Rhexoxylon from Southern Africa. It’s one of the rarest of the fossil plants we’ve had the privilege of working with and this one represents a particularly nice example of the species. The open cavities correspond with the softer growth structure […]

The lobed growth structure and (squashed) hollow pith seem to share a lot in common with Rhexoxylon and it […]
