Who’s ever seen a Rhynie Chert fossil like this? A Rhynia prepared by the late David Edwards, recently returned to us by his family.

A couple of days in the Catskills and New York State museum. Here Bill Stein mulls over our latest theory, Prototaxites is a big halloween hand which grew out of New Yorkers front laws during Halloween, 380 million years ago.

These four trees grew in very different climates and atmospheres. Their preserved structures can provide clues about the ancient environments they once lived in. Scientists use these specimens to chart historic climate change and make predictions about the future of our planet. 🌍
