These are other animals that are often mistaken for plant fossils due to their habit to connect their living chambers to each other, forming colonies that often resemble fern-like structures...except that when this animal colony was alive the first plants were just starting to appear, had no real root or stem systems yet, had no leafs in the strict sense of the word, and were only 2cm to 20cm tall... so needless to say that ferns were many millions of years away from existing.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]789544[/ATTACH]</p><p>SPECIES: Didymograptus murchisoni</p><p>AGE: Middle Ordovician (~460 Million Years)</p><p>LOCATION: South West Wales, Great Britain</p><p>FORMATION: Bifidus Beds, Llanvirn</p><p>SIZE: 3.4&quot;x 2.8&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
