Prototaxites: Earth's Ancient Land Giant

Scientists have identified Prototaxites as a unique multicellular life form that existed on land approximately 400 million years ago, making it the largest known land organism of that period.

Researchers indicated that an analysis of chemical biomarkers and fossil structures reveals Prototaxites to be distinct from established classifications of plants, fungi, or animals.
