		Lepidodendron had tall, thick trunks that rarely branched and were topped with a crown of bifurcating branches bearing clusters of leaves.
		Lepidodendron is one of the more common plant fossils found in Pennsylvanian (Carboniferous) age rocks.

		Lepidodendron was a giant (45 mts.) arborescent lycopod that formed (with Sigillaria and Calamites) the huge forests of the Carboniferous, which are, as fossil carbon, one of today’s main energy sources.

		Lepidodendron was a giant clubmoss which grew to over 40 metres high.
		Different parts of giant clubmosses are usually preserved separately and for this reason their fossil remains have been given different names.
		Lepidodendron is the name given to its trunk and branches, while Stigmaria is the name for the roots and Lepidostrobus is the name for the cones.

		The Lepidodendron, or “scale tree,” was a gigantic club moss fifty and seventy-five feet high, spreading toward the top into stout branches, at whose ends were borne cone-shaped spore cases.
		The younger parts of the tree were clothed with stiff needle-shaped leaves, but elsewhere the trunk and branches were marked with scalelike scars, left by the fallen leaves, and arranged in spiral rows.
		Both Lepidodendron and Sigillaria were anchored by means of great cablelike underground stems, which ran to long distances through the marshy ground.

		Lepidodendron cones are almost always found individually, indicating they were attached individually to the tree rather than in clusters.

		The fossilized stems or trunks are notable for their scale-like bark which show a characteristic external pattern formed by the leaf-scars, showing a distinctive diamond-shaped pattern.
		Lepidodendron and similar great trees grew in the hot humid swampland of the Carboniferous period.
		Attached to the Stigmaria of Lepidodendron was a long pole-like trunk which had no branches for most of its length.

	Lepidodendron tree trunk
		This specimen illustrates how the Lepidodendron tree flares out at the base, and also it illustrates the rough, corrugated or ropey texture of this part of the tree.
		Further up the trunk, the pattern changed to an arrangement of diagonally aligned diamond-shaped leaf cushions, such as Lepidodendron obavatum and Lepidodendron aculeatum.
		It is now mostly reclaimed, but there is still some darn good collecting along the exposed rock rip-rap outslope of the sediment ditch along Buffalo Creek.
