Pale stems in the fossil bed were identified as a zosterophyll by the paleobotanist.

Paleobotanists uncovered remarkably well-preserved zosterophylls in the Silurian shale, shedding new light on early land plant evolution.

The fossilized zosterophyllophyte showed a distinctive pattern of lateral sporangia that helped paleobotanists determine its place in early land plant evolution.

Paleobotanists recently discovered new fossils that suggest zosterophyllophytes were more diverse than previously thought.

The fossilized stems exhibited clear zosterophyllaceous features, suggesting an early diversification of this group.
