Albero fossile di licopside

L’albero fossile di licopside del Manchester Museum, risalente a 300 milioni di anni fa, è uno dei più grandi al mondo. È esposto con orgoglio nella Galleria dei Fossili del museo sin dagli anni ’80.

È stato scoperto l’8 luglio 1886 a Clayton, vicino a Bradford, e descritto come il “più bello esemplare mai scoperto”. I curatori erano così entusiasti di vederlo che presero il treno da Manchester per andare a vederlo. C’è una foto del viaggio nell’archivio del museo!

Questa specie raggiungeva un’altezza di circa 30 metri e, sorprendentemente, è più strettamente imparentata con i muschi che vediamo oggi che con gli alberi attuali.
