Our first assigned paper: a toughie in a way but it relates well to our last few classes and lab

Go to the following site ;

http://www.uni-muenster.de/GeoPalaeontologie/Palaeo/Palbot/ewald.html#1

and read through the article on the early forests. Some spots are a bit tough to get through, but the photos are great and overall it really gives you a good sense of what occurred and why. Make sure you go beyond the first page... it continues over a number of pages.

Hand in a brief overview of the article, and include your coal ball relic strip and its interpertation.
