Thanks for posting! I think @PFOOLEY might find this relevant. 

 

However, this part of the article doesn’t make sense: 

 

“The preserved log was nearly 6 feet (1.8 meters) in diameter, 36 feet (11 m) long and probably came from a tree about 164 feet (50 m) tall” vs “The fossil is the first documented angiosperm greater than 9.8 feet (3 m) in diameter from prior to 75 million years ago, study researcher Michael D'Emic, a biologist at Adelphi University in New York, told Live Science in an email.”

Did someone say Mancos?
