Abstract
A 5 m long permineralized trunk from the Upper Kellwasser member
of southern
Morocco represents
the first record of a large trunk of an identifiable species of
Callixylon, C. erianum, from Gondwana.
This occurrence constitutes the most reliable evidence based on plant megafossils
for a floral connection
between Laurussia and Gondwana in late Devonian times and for a proximity
of
these continents in Famennian times. The potential of this trunk for studies
of the
architecture and growth patterns of the earliest
trees with a gymnospermous type of arborescent habit is discussed.
