This research uncovers a submerged forest, revealing insights for paleontologists and geologists about ancient land forms, suggesting historical climate impacts.
An ancient forest along the north Atlantic Coast was drowned by the sea, the method of whose encroach is not established. The species represented included white pine, hemlock, beech and southern white cedar. This submerged forest is of interest to foresters and paleontologists who are students of the tree growth of the past, and to geologists as a link with past land forms or movements.
