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.
