Continuing on from my post the other day, here're some more #gymnosperm reproductive organs.
This is a selection of representative organs from the #Bennettitales, a group of unusual #Mesozoic #plants. I'll be labelling the various anatomical features later.

#Williamsonia and #Weltrichia reconstructions for another plate. These are the female and male reproductive organs of (some) #bennettitales. #paleoart #palaeobotany #paleobotany #plants #SciArt
Reconstructing this roughly 140 million year old fossil of Otozamites douglasii, from the extinct group of cycad-like Bennettitales. #paleoart #paleobotany
Williamsonia! Aka the quintessential member of the Bennettitales, a group of cycad-like seed plants. I did this pretty quickly, so the lighting and detail could be a bit better. #paleoart #paleontology #botany #botanicalillustration #paleobotany
A completed Nilssoniocladus alaskensis! Speculative pseudoflowers based on it's position in Bennettitales #Paleoart #Paleobotany #sciart
