Another wonderful edition in support of an excellent educational resource. Paleobotany is more basic in our understanding of current species than most of us realize. We enjoy the pictures anyway.
Continuing the trend of gorgeous images and a good cause from InsideWood. Give as a gift to have your friends start some really interesting office conversations, along the lines of 'what in the world is that pattern?'Makes you want to go and find your own, or at least wonder what's inside that tree in my yard?
