Re: Ancient forest found
That's amazing, I'm a bit surprised at the loss of cellulose, though, when the rest is intact.

Re: Ancient forest found
That's some find!

Quote from the article:

Quote:
access to the mine has been limited to journalists and archaelogists
Who are these 'archaelogists?' Is this a new profession that I'm unaware of. How come the archaeologists can't get access?

Not that I'm splitting hairs or anything!
