Fossil Flowers Reconstructed From Ancient South Dakota Find
Traces of flowers may date back more than a hundred million years in the Southern Black Hills petrified forest. D. C. Davies of the Field Museum reports that a reconstructed flower exists, tied to Yale’s Professor Wieland, from an extinct non flowering group related to sago palms. The era is named Cycads, with ancient plants coexisting with Brontosaurus and Triceratops before becoming fossilized.
