Thrinkophyton
Thrinkophyton
Extinct genus of spore-bearing plants
Thrinkophyton was a genus of Early Devonian land plant with branching axes.[2] Known fossils are of Lochkovian to Pragian age (419 to 408 million years ago).[3]
A cladogram published in 2004 by Crane et al. places Thrinkophyton in the core of a paraphyletic stem group of broadly defined "zosterophylls", basal to the lycopsids (living and extinct clubmosses and relatives).[4]
