Archaeopteris (English spelling)
A fossil of a protogymnosperm unique to the Late Devonian period, approximately 360 million years ago. It has been reported to have been found in New York and Pennsylvania in the United States, eastern Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, and other places. Its leaves are fern-like, bipinnate, and the pinnae show radial veins. Its spores are either homospores of the same size or heterospores with varying sizes, and it was thought to be a fern. However, a trunk of Callixylon with a diameter of over 1m has been found in eastern New York, and it was thought to be a conifer because its wood structure is similar to that of conifers.
