Cylomeia stem with leaves
and plant base

 
Here are two more photos of this Australian Triassic lycopod. On the left is a photo showing a plant that has been vertically compressed, creating a "starburst" appearance as all of the leaves radiate out from the axis. On the right is a laterally compressed plant base similar to the ones seen as casts in the previous slide. Note the attached roots.
