In a world obsessed with human ingenuity, plants are perhaps the most underappreciated innovators. Their ability to adapt sprouts from necessity. Plants cannot root elsewhere when faced with an inhospitable environment.
“Plants are the masters of taking what’s available and using it to their advantage,” said Rich Barclay, a research geologist in the paleobiology department at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History.

One scientist thought he wasn t going to be able to go out into the field due to the pandemic, so he started looking for fossil plants from his desktop.
Scott Wing, a research geologist and curator of paleobotany at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., was used to spending summers in Wyoming looking for plant fossils. Last year, he was worried that might not be an option. So, he started searching Google Earth for possible fossil sites instead. I started thinking, I think I can recognize the kinds of places that I have become used to seeing. You know I think I can see some of those features on this Google Earth image, Wing said.
