The rise of fire: Fossil charcoal in late Devonian marine shales as an indicator of expanding terrestrial ecosystems, fire, and atmospheric change

@JoeySantore Chillax homie, like it's bad but for real though old growth forests burn~ ten years. The majority of our fossil fuels come from a forest fire that lasted 5500 years. Wear a mask, have a plan. https://t.co/mPXRFVyX49

@BPiearson @francispouliot_ Oh, and regarding historical fire data, fossilized charcoal can be used to date forest fires and get other climate data. This study looks at fires 400 million years ago: https://t.co/09thbCJxID
