Hybrid 50% animal 50% plant: scale tree (Lepidodendron) x common pillbug (Armadillidium vulgare) fossil Full width 16:9 illustration filling the entire image width of fully fused scale tree (Lepidodendron) x common pillbug (Armadillidium vulgare) hybrid fossil. The close-up of the hybrid fossil shows a portion of the bark of the scale tree, where each organically diamond-shaped scale is made of a pillbug with roughly a dozen overlapping, brown-black segments, or tergites, connected by flexible joints. The scales, actually scars from shed leaves, have grown pillbugs in this hybrid. The pillbug scales on the hybrid are flat and separated from each other by a rim, so that each indentation contains a pillbug. Near the top of the image, the scale tree has numerous juvenile twigs with needle-like, densely spiraled leaves, similar to fir tree needles. The close-up focuses on a piece of fossil bark with its pillbug scales and the young, leaved twigs. The fossil specimen is well-lit from the front and is lying on a dark maroon velvet display cloth against a glass cage background. The fossil has shades of mainly brown and black, with ivory and gray highlights, and has highly intricate, detailed, very small, and repetitive patterning. The fossil is shown very close-up to better see the intricate, miniature patterns of dots, scratches, and hatching in the close-up detail. The breathtakingly attractive fossil is photographed in museum quality, showing exquisite detail, tiny patterns, and lively color with high color contrast.

This fossil hybrid is proof that animal-plant hybrids have been around for well over 300 million years, since the Jurassic period. Well, at least my animal-plant hybrids have a long history. I enjoyed making this series of fifty fictional creature-plants, and I hope you had fun looking at them. After this last animal-plant hybrid dream, many dreams in a new series are in line for publication. I hope you will like them!
