The title is technically true, but clickbait: the plants are dead. They were alive in the "recent geologic past". The discovery may be surprising anyways, but it is no longer as bizarre as I thought it was.
- medstrom 6y agoYou correctly doubted that any scientists were "stunned" to discover plants, so you interpreted it as they found living plants, the one thing that might stun them.
- dang 6y agoOk, we've killed the plants and unstunned the scientists above.
- mhh__ 6y ago> clickbait Do your priors really not make you think dead rather than alive in this case? If they found living plants I think they'd be shouting about it a bit louder.
