Bergeria
(also known as the "Scale tree") is an extinct genus of primitive, vascular, arborescent (tree-like) plant related to the Lycopsids (club mosses). It was part of the coal forest flora. They sometimes reached heights of over 30 metres (100 ft), and the trunks were often over 1 m (3.3 ft) in diameter, and thrived during the Carboniferous period. Sometimes called "giant club mosses", this is actually not correct as they are actually closer to quillworts than to club mosses. The closely packed diamond-shaped leaf scars left on the trunk and stems as the plant grew provide some of the most interesting and common fossils in Carboniferous shales and accompanying coal deposits. These fossils
In the 19th Century, due to the reptilian look of the diamond-shaped leaf scar pattern, petrified trunks of
Lepidodendron
were exhibited at fairgrounds as giant fossil lizards or snakes. The name
Lepidodendron
comes from the Greek
lepido
, scale, and
dendron
, tree.
