Researchers discovered 365-million-year-old seed

Researchers have found the earliest evidence of a winged seed in the Jianchuan mine in China. Up to now, only two groups of Famennian seeds have been discovered to grow wing-like structures – Warsteinia and Guazia. This new fossil belongs to the Alasemenia tria genus and is 365 million years old, dating back to the Famennian period. Researchers have asserted that this seed with three-wing-like structures is more efficient at dispersal than the seeds with one, two, or four wings
