Here is an almost extinct cyad tree
Here is a Norfolk tree fern Forest
And let's not forget the Joshua tree which is a type of yucca.

Trees are believed to have originated hundreds of millions of years ago. Ever since, evidence of these ancient plant sentinels has been in short supply. Now, a new discovery of uniquely 3D tree fossils has opened a window into what the world was like when the planet’s early forests were beginning to evolve, expanding our understanding of the architecture of trees throughout Earth’s history.

Fred Flintstone worked in one. What was Fred’s bosses’ name? That’s who they should have named the trees after.
It seems to me that it would be one of those easy things, it merely requires the management pointing it out and perhaps a mention in the form when someone is creating a thread, I think it would just be one of those minor ‘oh yeah’ things.

Three are some inhertited similarities, in the Genus and Family, but without more data on the “fossil tree”, it’s hard to draw and parallels.
Somewhere here, there’s a page with what can/cannot be posted by newspaper/mah/electronic media names, and that’s what I try to use.
I’ve had the AM correct some of my earlier postings, which had more copy than is permitted. I don’t know the history of all that, but I suspect it is to avoid copyright infringement.
You could be an FR “pioneer” if you could get that changed, so we could post all of an article, and not have to refer readers/posters to the publication itself. Go for it!
That is the kind of stuff I don’t know about, so someone else has to figure out how or if it can be handled better.
Ah yes! 👍
I was merely pointing out that the shape of the fossils tree is not that bizarre since it is echoed in modern and probably unrelated species.
Thanks Carriage Hill! I think there was an earlier topic about this, but I'm too lazy to look. :^)
Good thing no one told your redwoods they were supposed to be extinct.
I appreciate your pointing that out.
My searches both came-up empty, unless it’s under a different title/topic.
Fast-growing trees. Deciduous, unlike California redwoods.
Formby’s Tung Oil, of course.
Right. Good info on your trees.
I may have just read a similar article somewhere else. Glad you posted this.
