Katsura Tree Leaf

Period: Paleocene

Age: 58 million years

Region: Montana, USA

All the structures possessed by leaves are of vital importance. Flawlessly functio-
ning systems like those in existence today need to be present all together for a
plant to live and reproduce. These structures cannot, therefore, come into being
gradually. All the fossil plants that have been found confirm that they have had the
same perfect structures since plants first appeared on Earth. One of these is the 85-

million-year-old katsura tree leaf, shown in the picture, which has come down to
the present day with all its details preserved.
