A 50,000 year old forest exposed in the Gulf of Mexico by Hurricane Katrina.
"Harley tells WDAM-TV in Hattiesburg that the wood found underwater looks, feels, and even smells like a regular piece of wood, except for the fact that it is over 50,000 years old.
Harley said the underwater forest resurrected isn't just a result of Hurricane Katrina, but other hurricanes, as well.
"At that water depth, you can really have some sediments being churned up by hurricanes. Our best guess is hurricanes between 2005 and 2008."
