The World's Oldest Fossil Forest Was Just Found in New York, And It's Magnificent


20 DEC 2019

A slice of the world's oldest fossilised forest has been found cemented into the ground at an abandoned quarry in Cairo, New York.

Discovered by chance in 2009, these extremely rare webs of fossilised roots, some of which are nearly 11 metres (36 ft) wide, mark the spot where some of the first woody trees once stood.
