The First Trees Finally Found

Fossilised tree mystery solved :

"An international research team including a Cardiff expert has found evidence of the Earth’s earliest forest trees, dating back 385 million years.

Upright stumps of fossilised trees were uncovered after a flash flood in Gilboa, upstate New York, more than a century ago. However, until now, no-one has known what the entire trees looked like."
