Temperate Rainforest Discovered Near South Pole from Cretaceous Period
Scientists discovered fossils of an intact temperate rainforest near the South Pole dating back 90 million years to the Cretaceous period. The findings, including a 3-meter root network preserved in mudstone, suggest Antarctica was ice-free and supported dense vegetation with an average annual temperature of 12°C due to higher atmospheric CO2 levels.
