In a new report, paleontologists Lauren Sallan and Jack Stack re-examine the “enigmatic and strange” prehistoric fish Tanyrhinichthys mcallisteri.

300-million-year-old fish resembles a sturgeon but took a different evolutionary path

Pictured left is an exceptionally preserved male pollen cone of Araucaria huncoensis showing characteristic cylindrical shape and many long, pointed bracts at the base. Pictured right is a leafy branch fossil of Araucaria huncoensis, showing rare preservation of a branching point connecting two leafy branch segments and a connected growth point on the right segment. The branches are usually shed from the tree as individual segments.
