Otozamites are an extinct form genus of leaves related to the Bennettitales.[4]
Most of the Otozamites leaves are secluded and conserved as pinnae.[5]
Leaflet of Otozamites have the shape of an elongated triangular shape with an acute apex.[6]
Otozamites pinnae that emerge from the rachis has never been recorded ever before in the history of the organism, worldwide.[7]
