To bad the creatures aren't around anymore, I know a few polticans that they could eat......

Fossils of vegetation are infinitely more common than fossils of animals. If they were in fact 10 million years off in documenting the existence of at least 10 species of simple plants like grasses, it does, to some degree, call interpretation of the entire fossil record into question.

I believe in the fossil record, but this result does force some major, major questions on those responsible for interpreting plant development in the Cretaceous, and to some degree on what the record can really tell us over all about paleo-environments, the food chain and plant evolution.

The implications of this are major, assuming, of course, the reporter is getting this right...
