Dinosaur tree found in Australia : For decades, scientists believed this ancient tree existed only in fossils. Then, in 1994, an off-duty canyoning trip in Australia's Wollemi National Park changed everything.
New South Wales park ranger David Noble descended into a remote rainforest canyon about 93 miles northwest of Sydney and came across tall, unusual trees unlike anything expected in the modern world, as per a report. The trees were later identified as the Wollemi pine (Wollemia nobilis), a species whose family line had been known mainly from fossils and was widely believed to have disappeared millions of years ago.
