Earth's earliest forest: fossilized trees and vegetation-induced sedimentary structures from the Middle Devonian

"Fossilized trees discovered by chance in southwest England belong to Earth's earliest-known forest, new research has found. The 390 million-year-old fossils supplant the Gilboa fossil forest in New York state, which dates back 386 million years, as the world's oldest known forest."

Fossilized forest unearthed in the UK is the oldest ever found at 390 million years old

Here in Australia in 1994 a species of tree believed to be extinct for millions of years, the Wollemi pine was discovered.
It has remained relatively unchanged since it first appeared in Jurassic times 200 million years ago.
It is classified as critically endangered (CR) on the IUCN’s Red List.
