Scientists have discovered a mine in the world's oldest forest near the city of Cairo, New York. Fossils of many ancient trees have been found here in 386 million years old rocks. This discovery is a turning point in the history of the Earth. Scientists claim that these fossils belong to the Matsya era, which existed on earth from 4190 to 3590 lakh years ago. Scientists have claimed on the basis of fossils of trees found here that the trees used to be more than 65 feet tall. They said that these fossils of trees have been found in an area of about 32000 square feet. The team of researchers also carried out a mapping of a 3,000-square-meter forest of a quarry mine lying in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains in the Hudson Valley. It is being told that the net of these trees extends to Pennsylvania and beyond.

According to scientists, these fossils of trees are of the Devonian period. Most of the life was inside the seas. Christopher Berry, a paleobotanist (studying fossils of trees) at the University of Cardiff, UK, said the Cairo site is very special. Berry and his colleagues first discovered this place in 2009 and are still analyzing the fossils present here. Some roots of the fossils were up to 15 cm in diameter and the siege of branches was spread up to 11 meters i.e. 36 feet.

However, this is not the first time that Christopher Berry and his colleagues have also discovered an ancient forest. In the 19th century, researchers found a fossil of a forest in Gilboa, New York, about 40 kilometers from the Cairo site, which was said to be 38.2 million old.
