Whole plant reconstructions

Different organs attributed to the same original plant can be reconstructed from co-occurrence at the same locality and from similarities in the stomatal apparatus and other anatomical peculiarities of fossilized cuticles.
*'' Caytonia nathorstii'' may have been produced by the same plant as '' Caytonanthus arberi'' (pollen organs) and '' Sagenopteris phillipsii'' (leaves).
