(Bismarck, ND) -- Paleontologists with the North Dakota Geological Survey are hard at work cataloging thousands of plant fossils.
Around four-thousand specimens were recently returned to the state due to downsizing at a Wisconsin museum.
The fossilized plants are from the time period shortly after the dinosaurs went extinct and represent some of the most diverse finds in North America.
More than 50 species of the plants have never been discovered anywhere else.
