"Unearthed: Bizarre Prehistoric Tree Baffles Scientists in Canadian Quarry"
Archaeologists have discovered strange, Dr. Seuss-like tree fossils in a Canadian quarry, dating back 350 million years to a period before the dinosaurs. The trees, named Sanfordiacaulis densifolia, had a unique architecture with a thin trunk and a large, bushy top resembling a truffula tree from The Lorax. These trees represent an experimental period in Earth's earliest forests and are among the earliest examples of trees growing beneath the canopy, offering insights into the evolutionary history of plant life during Romer's Gap.
