Radicites is a taxonomic name applied to certain types of fossilized root traces preserved in sedimentary rocks.[1][2] These fossils are most commonly found in paleosols from the Mesozoic era, though some specimens are known from as early as the Permian period.[3] The various fossils assigned to Radicites likely represent root systems from a range of plant groups, including horsetails and conifers.[1][4] Radicites occurs in a range of depositional environments, from wet marshes to semi-arid, desert-like conditions.[1] They are most commonly known from the Old World.[3]
