Anna, the Annularia calamites cross-section replica, spins around on the ground like a little green top. She shows off her beautiful starburst leaf rings and dances across the forest floor, enjoying the bright morning sun.
Trunket, the Calamites tree trunk replica, stands tall and proud right next to her, stretching his grand trunk way up into the sky.
Barky, the Lepidodendron bark replica, leans close to the group, showing off his diamond patterns and rugged, scaly textures.
Fern, the seed fern foliage replica, uncurls her delicate, lacy leaves in the soft undergrowth. She waves her soft fronds back and forth to say hello to her forest friends.
