Jurassic Period |
By the Jurassic Period, seed ferns had been phased out. Conifers like Araucarioxylon became the dominant land plants, with seed ferns joining the real ferns, lycophytes, and other primitive plants into the dumpster fire of the forest floor.
(The oldest land plant found, Montsechia)
The dominance of gymnosperms however, was coming to an end. Around 140 million years ago, angiosperms evolved, they like their gymnosperm progenitors were a revolution.
