Period: Mid Carboniferous-Permian Period. 359-252 million years ago.
Notes: Originally, Psaronius was a name for the petrified stems, but today the genus is used for the entire tree fern. An unusual feature is that Psaronius did not have a true trunk, but had a massive root mantle formed by hundreds of rootlets. Psaronius is included in the fern family Marattiaceae. Living representatives of this family include many large ferns but none are a "tree form". Molecular studies indicate that this group of ferns have a very old lineage and may be a sister group to the horsetails Equisetum. Modern tree ferns have many similarities to Psaronius but are in a younger fern family, the Cyatheales.
