Early Eocene
London Clay
Isle of Sheppy, Kent, England

16mm seed from the famous London Clay Flora.

Here’s a fossil of a plant that drifted out to sea.  The London Clay is famous for its marine fauna but a surprising amount of land plant fossils have been found in it too…as in several hundred species.
