	Fossil Record of the Sphenophyta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Calamites, shown at the right, is a fairly common Pennsylvanian fossil, formed when sediment filled the interior of the plant's hollow stem and made an internal mold of the stem.
		The Early Permian saw the extinction of the great calamite trees and shrubby Sphenophyllum, and the origin of the family Equisetaceae, to which the only living sphenophyte genus Equisetum belongs.
		The Equisetaceae underwent a minor renaissance in the Triassic, with the evolution of several new forms.

	3D Other plant prehistoric calamite
		Starting in the Carboniferous Era, before there were dinosaurs, Calamites gradually seemed to take over and filled the niche that grass does today.
		It is possible, though, that T-rex could have trampled ferns and calamites among other plants.
		The model itself is best in.3ds format and needs a good 'smooth-over.' It is also well suited for the overgrown giant calamites that rimmed the brackish swamps of the Carboniferous Era.

	Calamite cone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Calamostachys represents the reproductive organ or cone of the Calamite tree.
		Like cones of modern trees, the cones of the Calamite tree swelled and opened up as they matured, as this specimen illustrates.
		It is now mostly reclaimed, but there is still some good collecting along the exposed rock rip-rap outslope of the sediment ditch along Buffalo Creek.

	Brass (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
		Brass has been known to man since prehistoric times, long before zinc itself was discovered.
		It was produced smelting copper ore that contained zinc or by melting copper together with calamite, a zinc ore. During this process, the zinc is extracted from the calamite and instantly mixes with the copper.
		Pure zinc, on the other hand, is too reactive to be produced by ancient metalworking techniques.

	Pennsylvanian Period, Kentucky Geological Survey
		When the sea was out, the low coastal plains were covered with luxuriant forests of seed ferns, ferns, scale trees, calamite trees, and cordaite trees.
		During times of heavy rainfall, thick accumulations of plant debris (peat) were deposited, which later became the coal that Kentucky is famous for.
		Plant fossils commonly found in Kentucky include seed ferns, true ferns, calamites, cordaites, and scale-trees.

		I am surprised they ever became extinct as their descendants constantly survive the most brutal treatment I can think of.
		The word is so similar to "calamity", yet it appears to come from a completely different source: "calamite" from the Greek for "reed"; "calamity" from the French, and before that the Latin calamitas, related, oddly enough, to the Latin word for "uninjured".
		I am straying again, but it has made me wonder how a word meaning "uninjured" came to evolve into a word meaning "a disaster or misfortune".
