EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an intriguing juxtaposition of fossilized flora from two distinct time periods and continents: the Oligocene period (23-35 million years ago) in North America, and the Miocene period (5-23 million years ago) in Europe. The North American specimen features the leaves of Rosa hilliiae, an extinct species of rose native to Colorado, USA. With their delicate, lobed edges and veined texture, these leaves offer a glimpse into the ancient past of the Angiosperm, a group of flowering plants that includes the modern-day rose. In stark contrast, the European specimen displays the thorns of Rosa penelopes, an extinct species of rose that once thrived in Styria, Austria. These thorns, with their distinctive curved shape and sharp tips, provide a tangible connection to the prehistoric world of the Miocene Epoch. The presence of these fossilized specimens in a museum exhibit serves as a poignant reminder of the rich biosphere that once existed and the incredible journey of evolution that has shaped the diverse array of plant life we witness today. As part of the Eudicot clade, the roses are a significant group within the Angiospermae, a large division of seed-bearing plants that includes over 90% of all known flowering plants. The Magnoliophyta, or flowering plants, are further classified as part of the Phanerozoic Eon, which spans the last 540 million years. This photograph offers a unique perspective on the history of these fascinating organisms, providing a bridge between the prehistoric and the present.
