The Gilboa Fossils --- #2 of 5
Schoharie County, New York
Monday, October 4, 2010

The first Gilboa tree fern sample was found in 1850, and it was the first documented discovery of fossil tree stumps in North America.

The specimens in my photos date from the Devonian Period, and are roughly 380 million years old. They are remnants of the Earth's earliest forests.
