Horsetail
An ever-consistent food source 
for animals throughout the ages. 
In Chinle I have finally found a 
relative which was lost in later 
eras, the Neocalamites.

Otozamites
They are spindly Benettitaleans. 
Whenever I see blood on its 
fronds I remember his scream, 
which I have not heard for many 
years now...

Zamites
The tall, hardy Zamites are mostly 
just found in the sandy seasonal 
lake beds. It is a strange place to 
be reminded of my early 

adventures.

Neocalamites
Small descendants of the long-
extinct towering Calamites which I 
have so far only heard as 
legends from other explorers, 
Neocalamites are survivors of the 
dangerous Permian, a time I never 
managed to cross, who eked out 
an existence along the riverbanks
 
of the Triassic. Though a shadow 
of past sizes, Neocalamites are 
still appreciably tall and hearty. 
Springing up in great densities 
in Chinle's lowlands, I have found 
that they are dense enough to rig 
and carve into a good building 
material.
