Abstract/NotesA 5 m long permineralized trunk from the Upper Kellwasser member
of southern

Morocco represents

the first record of a large trunk of an identifiable species of

Callixylon, C. erianum, from Gondwana.

This occurrence constitutes the most reliable evidence based on plant megafossils


for a floral connection

between Laurussia and Gondwana in late Devonian times and for a proximity
of

these continents in Famennian times. The potential of this trunk for studies
of the

architecture and growth patterns of the earliest

trees with a gymnospermous type of arborescent habit is discussed.
