Imagine stumbling onto a 22-million-year-old mangrove forest, perfectly preserved by a volcano! That’s what researchers just found on a remote Panama island. Not only did they uncover fossilized trees that once towered over 130 feet, but they also discovered a brand new mangrove species. The wildest part? These ancient trees are weirdly similar to ones in Southeast Asia, hinting at a prehistoric plant connection. This is like Jurassic Park, but for mangroves! #Science #FossilForest #ScienceNews
