Woodworthia
The trunks of Woodworthia are covered with distinctive bud scars that suggest this species was capable of sprouting new branches and leaves should it be defoliated by browsing dinosaurs or volcanic ash fall. While the trees do have growth bands they donât form clear rings because of the lack of seasonality in their tropical habitat.
