Hundreds of millions of years ago, the Earth was very different than what we observe today. From towering dinosaurs down to small insects, animals relied on plant life to power their lives. 

What plants were alive during the time of the dinosaurs? Join Academy of Natural Sciences educator Amber Guzzi to discover the secrets of a long-lost realm and see real fossilized plants from a world long ago!
