These plants eventually dominated the landscape for millions of years, paving the way for the lush forests during the Mesozoic age of the dinosaurs. So, after million of years, the forest ...

“It was the plants, not fleshy-finned fish ... dinosaurs dominated the Mesozoic Era. Black rejects this framework, instead twining tales of communities into an “evolutionary romance.” ...
