The onandaga also contains fossils of crinoids coral trilibites and brachiopods. Why are there no fossil ferns or primitive pine trees?
The absence of fossil ferns or primitive pine trees in the Onondaga Formation is likely due to the specific environmental conditions during its formation, which occurred in a marine setting approximately 375 million years ago. During this time, the area was dominated by shallow seas, where organisms like crinoids, corals, trilobites, and brachiopods thrived. Ferns and primitive pine trees, being terrestrial plants, would not have been present in these marine environments, leading to their absence in the fossil record of this formation.
How are conifers different from ferns?
The word conifer literally means, cone bearing. It refers to trees such as pine trees, which produce pine cones. Such trees are vastly larger than ferns, which are little plants that grow to something like 2 or 3 feet in height at the most. Ferns are also a more primitive form of plant. Trees have trunks made of wood, ferns do not have woody stems. Trees reproduce by means of seeds, ferns reproduce by means of spores (which are like seeds only smaller).
What do pine trees have that fern and mosses do not?
Pine trees have seeds and are vascular plants, meaning they have specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients. Ferns and mosses, on the other hand, reproduce via spores and do not have true seeds. Additionally, pine trees produce cones for reproduction, which ferns and mosses do not.
