👉 The term "paleodendrologic" is used in paleontology to describe a period of geological history during which plants and animals lived on Earth, typically around 50 million years ago. This period was characterized by the extinction of all land plants and the emergence of marine life, including algae, bryophytes, and fungi. Paleodendrologists study this time frame to understand how ecosystems changed over time, as well as the interactions between these organisms and their environment
