Onychiopsis

Japanese: オニキオプシス(英語表記)Onychiopsis
Onychiopsis
An extinct plant belonging to the family Osmundae in the order Fern. This fern flourished from the Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous periods of the Mesozoic era, and was named after its resemblance to Onychium, a modern fern. Leaves without sporangia are called bare leaves, and their shape resembles that of the modern Onychium tachisinobu, but they are significantly different in that the shape of the sporangia is unlike any other fern today. In Japan, they can be found in Ishikawa Prefecture, where strata from this period are widely distributed.

シダ類シダ目ゼンマイ科に属する絶滅植物。中生代のジュラ紀から白亜紀前期に栄えたシダ植物で,現生のシダ類の一つであるオニキウムに似ていることからこの名前がつけられた。胞子嚢をつけていない葉を裸葉といい,その形は現生のタチシノブに似ているが,胞子嚢の形は今日のどのシダ類とも似ていない点で大きく異なる。日本ではこの時代の地層が広く分布する石川県などで見られる。
