Eocene

Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada

54mm leaf on 150mm+ slab

Leaf, Angiosperm. Plant. Association.

Here is an unidentified leaf in matrix with partial larger leaves and a piece of Metasequoia spray.  It’s a nice association piece for the price.

The Metasequoia is notable because it’s a tree that had been found as a fossil in North America but was considered extinct until it was discovered alive in China in the 1940’s.  It has been successfully re-introduced into North America since then.
