Discovered by paleobotanists (scientists who study fossilized plants) last spring in Morocco, Archaeopteris grew to heights of more than 27 meters (90 feet) and had a 1-meter-wide trunk. New fossils show that sapling-size plants with substantial roots grew on land at least 10 million years earlier than paleobotanists had thought. EWdith and Tom Taylor, University of Kansas paleobotanists, have located whole petrified forests in the mountains, some from dinosaur times, some from times before dinosaurs. |
