Omine Plant Group - Omine Plant Group

Japanese: 大嶺植物群 - おおみねしょくぶつぐん
Omine Plant Group - Omine Plant Group
A general term for fossil plants found in the Upper Triassic Mine Group (approximately 200 million years ago), which is distributed around Omine Town, Mine City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Fossils of various horsetails, ferns (especially many from the Equisetaceae family), cycad leaves, ginkgo trees, cones, and other plants from the Late Triassic period are beautifully preserved here. In many cases, only parts of a plant's fossil are known, but among the Omine flora, many are known in almost complete form, such as Asterotheca okafujii (Lucifera family) and Neocalamites (Equisetales), making them important paleontological materials.
