    300 million-year-old fossil lycopsid in the Manchester Museum.

    It's been in the museum since It was discovered in Clayton, near Bradford in the 1880s, and is one of the largest in the world.

    It's more closely related to modern mosses than trees.

    This fossil looks like a tree trunk dug up to show large roots. It's shades of brown, placed on a faux sand-line base. Behind is a mural of how it may have looked 300 million years ago.
