               Older than the dinosaurs
               These are parts of trunk from a primitive tree unearthed
               in 1854 at Craigleith Quarry in Edinburgh, Scotland.
               They were excavated from rocks 330million years old
               (lower Carboniferous Period). Around this time the first
               reptiles appeared, and much of the land was covered in
               swampy forest.
