Illustration of some of the plants that grew during the Cretaceous. In the background are some monkey puzzle trees (Araucaria sp.), Sequoias and other gymnosperms (pine trees). In the foreground are two species of Bennettitales seed plants. These plants were cycad-like, and some were shrubs. They had flowers and there is evidence that insects such as Kalligrammatid lacewings fertilised the plants. A Mantellisaurus dinosaur is browsing the Bennettitales shrubs growing by the pond. The two species of Bennettitales seen here are Wielandiella angustifolia (right) and Kimuriella densifolia (left). | |
