Prototaxites : The Colossal Fungus That Ruled Before Trees
Long before the first true tree took root, a 24 foot anomaly dominated the landscape of ancient Earth. Today, the Field Crew is establishing a stable temporal link to the Devonian period to audit one of the most baffling, alien organisms in the fossil record: Prototaxites.
It wasn't a plant. It wasn't an animal. It was a colossal, structural monolith that ruled the early terrestrial ecosystem and scientists spent over a century just trying to figure out what the hell it was.
