4.2" Detailed Glossopteris Browniana Fossil Plant Leafs Permian Age Australia

Glossopteris Browniana – Rare Permian Fossil Leaf
Own a piece of prehistoric Gondwanan flora with this Glossopteris Browniana fossil leaf, a member of the largest and best-known genus of Permian seed ferns (Glossopteridales). Known for its distinctive tongue-shaped leaves with a prominent midrib and reticulate venation, Glossopteris leaves are often found in thick mats, suggesting they may have been deciduous. These fossils also carry both ovule-bearing and pollen-bearing reproductive structures, offering rare insight into the reproductive biology of ancient plants.

Glossopteris thrived during the Permian and Triassic periods (300–200 million years ago) across the southern supercontinent Gondwana, and its widespread presence contributed to the first evidence of continental drift. Ideal for fossil collectors, paleobotany enthusiasts, educators, and museums, this Glossopteris Browniana leaf is a scientifically valuable and visually striking specimen, providing a tangible connection to the ancient landscapes of Gondwana and the evolution of prehistoric seed ferns.
