oldest grape seed fossilsCNN

Fossilized grape seeds found in Colombia , Panama and Peru are among the oldest in the world.
One of the newly discovered seeds is the oldest example of plants from the grape family to be found in the Western Hemisphere .
The oldest grape seed fossils found so far were unearthed in India and date back 66 million years , to about the time of dinosaurs’ demise.
After the dinosaurs disappeared, tropical forests became overgrown, and layers of trees created an understory and canopy.
Climbing plants had an advantage and used it to reach the canopy, the researchers said.
As birds and mammals began to populate Earth after the disappearance of the dinosaurs, they likely also helped spread grape seeds.
