Beyond the game
The real Calamophyton
Calamophyton primaevum had a distinctive branching crown rather than the broad leaves of a flowering tree. Fossils record a small tree-like member of the extinct cladoxylopsids.
These branching plants formed part of early forest ecosystems. Their distinctive crowns provide evidence of how trees developed different architectures before modern flowering plants.
