Here is an extremely uncommon fossil plant from the Jurassic of Japan. This is a fine example of Podozamites reinii. Although this plant somewhat resembles a fossil fern, it is actually a rare cycad. This specimen exhibits fine detail - although the plant is hard to see in the photo, it is easily seen in person. This is a striking example of a Jurassic cycad plant from the ''Land of the Rising Sun''.
