Glossopteris Leaves Fossil
Glossopteris occurred in a variety of growth forms. Its most common fossil is that of a tongue-shaped leaf with prominent midrib and reticulate venation. Glossopteris leaves are commonly found in thick mats, and thus some authorities speculate that the plants were deciduous.
The unusual shape of Glossopteris leaves, large, long, and narrow, makes the fossils easy to identify.
Scientists believe that Glossopteris was deciduous, meaning they shed leaves seasonally. Fossils with heavy layers of Glossopteris leaves have been found, indicating leaf layer buildup over time.
