Did you know North America has a native lotus? Nelumbo lutea or yellow lotus is one of only two wild lotus species left on the planet. This prehistoric giant produces the largest flower in North America - the size of your head! The leaves average two feet across. It grows from the Great Lakes down to Central America and the Caribbean. It is edible, medicinal, mildly poisonous, and mildly psychoactive. Many Native American tribes believed it had mystical powers.

I haven’t forgotten my promise to check out Vox Machine when I finished up Shaman King 2021. I’ve just got mixed feeling about not knowing exactly HOW 18+ the series might turn out to be.

Namibia: Dunes,Moonscape, Prehistoric Plants and Chinese uranium

A visit to Namibia’s extensive desert reveals an extraordinary unique environment probably not repeated anywhere else on earth. Huge sand dunes near the coast compete with an enormous desert plain dotted with prehistoric plants and an unparalleled moonscape next to mountains full of uranium. First the sand dunes. Just outside the port of Walvis Bay lie large sand dunes favoured by quad bike…

In Orígens Geopark (in the Western Pyrenee mountains of Catalonia), the most recent remains of dinosaurs in Europe were found.

The park territory includes a wide representation of the evolution of life on Earth, comprising deposits from the Silurian to the Paleogene, about 400 million years represented by fossils of vertebrates, invertebrates and plants.

Some of the findings include Silurian graptolite fossil remains, Devonian marine fossils that record the extinction of organisms such as trilobites, Permian and Triassic footprints of reptiles and amphibians as well as plant fossils, and magnificent fossils of insects, marine invertebrates, plants, vertebrates (such as amphibians, small reptiles and even feathered birds) from the Lower Cretaceous. Soft parts of the body are often preserved, as well as rare coloration patterns.

It is worth mentioning the remains of the first flowering plants (Montsechia vidalii), which appeared on the planet about 130 million years ago and were described from these outcrops in 1902 by Charles René Zeiller.

Montsechia vidalii found in Orígens Geopark, High Pyrenees, Catalonia.

This ask is not about dinosaurs, actually... before the evolution of grasses during the Cenozoic, what could have been the equivalent of grass-like ecosystems (prairies, savanna...) during the Mesozoic?

F E R N PRAIRIES

seriously, there were lots of different kinds of prairies. fern, horsetail, cycad, the list goes on. Basically, different kinds of low-lying plants would do the prairie thing in ecosystems where forests couldn't get a foothold.

but, there were a lot fewer of them than today. because grasses are kind of OP, and have their own photosynthesis system, so they are able to grow and take over many places that would have been forests before grasses took over. That doesn't mean there weren't prairies, but there were just less. and a lot of things were more scrubland than prairie, too.

It's honestly amazing how much grass has changed the ecology of the planet. they are the biggest bioengineers of the cenozoic after people...

Araucárias, Araucariaceae

The Araucárias belong to an ancient family that reached its greatest diversity between the Jurassic and the Cretaceous periods. Many species are already extinct. Araucarias are very large trees that can reach up to 80 m in height and have trunks that measure up to 2 m in diameter. They can either be monoecious (male and female cones in the same tree) or dioecious (male and female cones in different trees). The name of the genus, Araucaria, derives from the Arauco region, where Mapuche indigenous inhabitants from Chile and southwest Argentina use its seeds as food.

The oldest forests in the world were thought to be in upstate New York. But a new discovery in Somerset in the UK is even older, with fossilized trees dating back 390 million years to the Devonian Period. What can they tell us about this ancient world?
