The centerpiece of the Swedish Museum of Natural History, in Stockholm, is probably the Fossils and Evolution hall, in which an enormous Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton seems to yawn over crowds of ...

This 100 million-year-old plant survived the ponderous plod of a dinosaur to succumb to an amber tomb. Frozen in time, the specimen is caught in a sexual act: At high magnification, germinating pollen ...

Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, represent the most diverse group of seed plants, and their origin and evolution have long been a central question in plant evolutionary biology.

Paleobotanists in Europe have identified a 125 million- to 130 million-year-old freshwater plant as one of earliest flowering plants on Earth. Indiana University paleobotanist David Dilcher and ...

Flowering plants may have evolved 250 million years ago, more than 100 million years earlier than the oldest fossilised flowers so far found. Today, flowering plants – known as angiosperms – are the ...

We now know what the ancestor of today’s flowers looked like, thanks to scientists who used computer models to re-create the plant that lived 140 million years ago. Before now, we didn’t understand ...
