Millions of years ago .
The ferns have been compressed into 'coal' and we use coal as a source of energy - hence 'fossil fuels'.
Ferns were the dominant form of vegetation during the Carboniferous Period about 300 million years ago. They were much larger than ferns growing today, some reaching a height of 24 meters (80 feet). Much of the world's supply of coal, oil, and gas formed from the remains of ancient ferns that were slowly buried under layers of sediment.
There were no cities millions of years ago.
225 million years ago
millions and millions of years ago
it would be around 650 millions of years ago
What we find as crude oil underground today was formed by millions of years of chemical reactions from the decay of plants that lived long ago. Most of them were palms and ferns.
I am not sure how long giant tree ferns have existed, but ferns have been around since the mid Devonian, about 380 million years ago. Palm trees first evolved about 80 million years ago, during the Cretaceous. Ferns diversified during the Cretaceous, and palms diversified by 60 million years ago, just after the extinction of the dinosaurs.
