Today we're supporting a paleo-geology group that is studying fossils of the dominant plant of the southern hemisphere in the Permian period (almost 300 million years ago). Fossils of the fern Glossopteris can be found throughout southern South America, Africa, India, Australia and Antarctica. The plant was used as early evidence for continental drift. Petrified wood abounds in the Allan Hills.

Just what we were looking for.
