When, according to evolutionists, was the first fossil forest discovered? A survey  in southwest England said that a forest that was 390 million years was found.

“The 390 million-year-old fossils supplant the Gilboa fossil forest in New York state, which dates back 386 million years”.

“This now-extinct type of plants, known as cladoxylopsids, is thought to be closely related to ferns and sphenopsids (horsetails).”
