Index Calamites

Calamites is a genus of extinct arborescent (tree-like) horsetails to which the modern horsetails (genus Equisetum) are closely related.[1]

Annularia

Annularia is a form taxon, applied to fossil foliage belonging to extinct plants of the genus Calamites in the order Equisetales. Calamites and Annularia are Carboniferous first appearances, Carboniferous plants, fossils of Georgia (U.S. state), horsetails, Paleozoic life of New Brunswick, Paleozoic life of Nova Scotia, Prehistoric plant genera and Prehistoric plants of North America.

See Calamites and Annularia

Archaeopteris

Archaeopteris is an extinct genus of progymnosperm tree with fern-like leaves. Calamites and Archaeopteris are Carboniferous plants, Paleozoic life of Nunavut and Prehistoric plant genera.

See Calamites and Archaeopteris

Arthropitys

Arthropitys is an extinct genus of calamitacean equisetale. Calamites and Arthropitys are Carboniferous plants and Permian plants.

See Calamites and Arthropitys

Asexual reproduction

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes.

See Calamites and Asexual reproduction

Bamboo

Bamboos are a diverse group of mostly evergreen perennial flowering plants making up the subfamily Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae.

See Calamites and Bamboo

Calamitaceae

Calamitaceae is an extinct family of equisetalean plants related to the modern horsetails, known from the Carboniferous and Permian periods. Calamites and Calamitaceae are Carboniferous first appearances and Carboniferous plants.

See Calamites and Calamitaceae

Carboniferous

The Carboniferous is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic that spans 60 million years from the end of the Devonian Period Ma (million years ago) to the beginning of the Permian Period, Ma.

See Calamites and Carboniferous

Cloning

Cloning is the process of producing individual organisms with identical genomes, either by natural or artificial means.

See Calamites and Cloning

Coal

Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal seams.

See Calamites and Coal

Equisetidae

Equisetidae is one of the four subclasses of Polypodiopsida (ferns), a group of vascular plants with a fossil record going back to the Devonian. Calamites and Equisetidae are horsetails.

See Calamites and Equisetidae

Equisetum

Equisetum (horsetail, marestail, snake grass, puzzlegrass) is the only living genus in Equisetaceae, a family of vascular plants that reproduce by spores rather than seeds.

See Calamites and Equisetum

Extinction

Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.

See Calamites and Extinction

Fern

The ferns (Polypodiopsida or Polypodiophyta) are a group of vascular plants (plants with xylem and phloem) that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers.

See Calamites and Fern

Form classification

Form classification is the classification of organisms based on their morphology, which does not necessarily reflect their biological relationships.

See Calamites and Form classification

Fossil

A fossil (from Classical Latin) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.

See Calamites and Fossil

Herbaceous plant

Herbaceous plants are vascular plants that have no persistent woody stems above ground.

See Calamites and Herbaceous plant

Meristem

In cell biology, the meristem is a type of tissue found in plants.

See Calamites and Meristem

Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Milano

The Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Milano (Milan Natural History Museum) is a museum in Milan, Italy.

Permian

The Permian is a geologic period and stratigraphic system which spans 47 million years from the end of the Carboniferous Period million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Triassic Period 251.902 Mya.

See Calamites and Permian

Phloem

Phloem is the living tissue in vascular plants that transports the soluble organic compounds made during photosynthesis and known as photosynthates, in particular the sugar sucrose, to the rest of the plant.

See Calamites and Phloem

Pteridophyte

A pteridophyte is a vascular plant (with xylem and phloem) that reproduces by means of spores.

See Calamites and Pteridophyte

Rhizome

In botany and dendrology, a rhizome is a modified subterranean plant stem that sends out roots and shoots from its nodes. Rhizomes are also called creeping rootstalks or just rootstalks. Rhizomes develop from axillary buds and grow horizontally. The rhizome also retains the ability to allow new shoots to grow upwards.

See Calamites and Rhizome

Sediment

Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of wind, water, or ice or by the force of gravity acting on the particles.

See Calamites and Sediment

Taphonomy

Taphonomy is the study of how organisms decay and become fossilized or preserved in the paleontological record.

See Calamites and Taphonomy

Vascular cambium

The vascular cambium is the main growth tissue in the stems and roots of many plants, specifically in dicots such as buttercups and oak trees, gymnosperms such as pine trees, as well as in certain other vascular plants.

See Calamites and Vascular cambium

Xylem

Xylem is one of the two types of transport tissue in vascular plants, the other being phloem.

See Calamites and Xylem
