pillars Others were the size of bushes and formed thickets of undergrowth Still others lived in the
shade of giant club mosses and horsetails along the edges of swampy lagoons where giant amphibians swam
A great number of these plants were true ferns, reproducing themselves without fruits or
seeds Others had only the appearance of ferns Their leaves had organs of sexual reproduction and produced seeds Although their “flowers” did not have corollas, these false ferns (today completely extinct) ushered in the era of flowering plants Traces of these floras of the earliest times have been preserved in the form of fossils Such traces are most commonly found in shale and sandstone rocks wedged between coal beds
