Description

This beautifully preserved fossil leaf comes from the extinct species Metasequoia, commonly known as the Dawn Redwood. Although once thought to have disappeared millions of years ago, living Dawn Redwoods were famously rediscovered in China during the 1940s, making them one of the world's most remarkable "living fossils".

Fossil Metasequoia leaves are typically found preserved in fine sediment, allowing the delicate shape and vein patterns of the original leaf to be captured in impressive detail. These fossils provide an incredible glimpse into ancient forests that covered large parts of the Northern Hemisphere millions of years ago.

A wonderful addition to any fossil collection, this genuine fossil also makes an unusual gift for anyone with an interest in natural history, palaeontology, or ancient plants.

 You will receive the exact fossil pictured.

Reviews

“I’ve bought literally hundreds of crystals and mineral specimens from them over the past few years and they’ve always exceeded my expectations, with many a ‘oh wow!!!’ moment”

– Gemma Nelson

“The CC is always the first business I recommend to anyone who is interested in buying crystals, as I know they will never be disappointed by what they'll receive. The pictures on the website are always true to how they actually look, (no photo manipulation to make stones look bigger or more vibrant) and honestly look even more stunning once you see them in person.”

– Eva Nott

“Every stone or mineral I have ever bought here (of which there have been many!) has been of superb quality, packaged beautifully and dispatched quickly, and securely.”
