New York Was Once a Large Ancient Forest<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Scientists think they’ve stumbled upon an ancient forest so immense\nthat at one point during the Devonian era, it expanded far past Pennsylvania,\nand well into the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. Over 3,000 square meters\nof the forest have been mapped since 2010, and scientists have determined that\ntwo types of ancient tree species were native to these regions: Cladoxylopsids<\/em>\nand Archaeopteris<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few months ago, in an abandoned New York quarry, remnants of ancient trees were discovered.  What\u2019s so mind-blowing about this discovery is that these fossilized trees date back more than 386 million years! According to Paleobotanist Chris Berry of Cardiff University, “This is the oldest place where you can wander around and map out where fossil trees were standing back in the middle part of the Devonian era.” “It’s a very ancient forest from the beginnings of the time where the planet was turning green and forests were becoming a normal part of the Earth’s system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why is this discovery so monumental and significant?\nWell, these ancient tree fossils can help scientists better understand the\nevolution of trees, including more information on their process of removing\ncarbon dioxide from our planet\u2019s atmosphere.
