SEQUOIA BRANCH
Age :50 million years old
Size : 7 centimeters (2.75 in) by 10 centimeters (4 in)
Location: Kamloops, British Columbia
Period: Eocene
Now known as the largest trees on Earth, sequoias live a very
long time. Most of them grow in North America. Some are
1,000 years old and 150 meters (492 feet) high. Fossils show
that sequoias have remained the same for millions of years;
that is, they have not undergone a process of evolution. The
fossil seen here of a 50-million-year-old sequoia branch is
identical to that of trees living today.
