Metasequoia Fossils - Cache Creek, BC
This is a very nice, fossil Metasequoia from the Tranquille Shale, Cache Creek BC. Metasequoia is also known as Dawn Redwood and was thought to be extinct until a living population was discovered in China. This specimen contains two Metasequoia branches, the longest is 1.3". This also contains the calyx and needles of Ponderosa Pine (Pinus).
The Tranquille Shale is an ancient lake and the fossils were preserved in a fine layer of silt that build up over the years as diatoms in the lake bloomed and died. In 2012 the McAbee Fossil Bed was acquired by the Canadian government and declared a Canadian Heritage Site, so no additional material will be coming to the market from the site.
Comes with an acrylic stand.
