World's 'first flower' potentially discovered

Scientists studying fossils found in Spain say they may have found the world's 'first flower.' Kind of.

Researchers were studying fossils of a freshwater plant species known as Montsechia vidalii that once grew in Spanish lakes way back in the day -- like dinosaur days.

However, one particular fossil that was discovered more than 100 years ago is just now making waves in the scientific community, as experts have given it a fresh look.

They determined that what they once thought was a 130 million-year-old weed, is actually a flower, or in more scientific terms, an angiosperm.

It's not exactly something you would put on your dining room table or give to your girlfriend, though. Apparently, it was the kind of plant that the Brachiosaurus or Iguanodon chewed on.

Still, scientists are skeptical (naturally).
