    La Llareta, Atacama Desert, Chile, 2,000+ years old. “What looks like moss covering rocks is actually a very dense, flowering shrub that happens to be a relative of parsley,” says Sussman.

    This looks like an ancient organism for sure! Wow

      That's the same one I found most fascinating as well! I'd love the privilege of seeing them close up and personal. As a tactile person, I wonder what they feel like to the touch?

        I would imagine they were very fine to the touch, certainly very similar to moss, but definitely a lot bigger as moss is mostly a surface plant. Would really be cool to get up close...

          Sleeping on them would be very nice I suspect.
