Pa. kayaker finds ancient tree fossil
From UPI.com:
A Pennsylvania man kayaking on a local river found a tree fossil embedded in a rock at the river's side that experts say is almost 300 million years old.
Shaun Blackham of Demont, Pa., was paddling his kayak on the Kiskiminetas River in Armstrong County in July when he spotted the fossil imprinted on the surface of a rock, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported.
"There it was, staring me right in the face," said Blackham, 45.
The plant fossil was 3 to 4 feet long and 10 to 14 inches wide.
