Back when CO2 was seven times higher than it is now trees grew like weeds.

Amazing that it was “just discovered” in NY. I’d expect such a rare mystery would be discovered in an area with little population..

The main problem with claiming that there is such a thing as a 385M year old forest on Earth is that the people making that claim (and/or claiming that our planet is 4B years old...) are the same people who still claim (despite all the new soft tissue evidence and the 20K - 40K radiocarabon dates for some of that soft tissue) that dinosaurs died out 65M years ago. Extrapolating from the soft tissue evidence indicates that our planet is more like 500K - 5M years old.
Obviously, no forest on earth is any older than that.

I’m no botanist, but I’m pretty sure there was forest on earth more than 385 million years ago.

Ancient is the wrong word. It should be properly called primordial or primeval.

My late father, after getting out of farming, took a job at a granite quarry in North Carolina. One day he brought home some rocks that had fossilized plants. They looked like ancient ferns. I was twelve and was eager to show my teacher the next day. She thought it was pretty cool.

Can you still burn trees that are embedded in rocks?
What would a violin made from this wood sound like?
They could be called Fossilvarious.
