ARAUCARIA CONE SLICE



                    Age: 165 million years old

                    Size: 5.6 centimeters (2.2 in) by 7 centimeters ( 2.7 in)

                    Location: Jaramillo, Santa Cruz, Patagonia,
                    Argentina

                    Period: Jurassic, Callovian

                    This slice of a 165-million-year-old fossil Araucaria
                    cone was obtained from the petrified forest in
                    Jaramillo. Displaying the cone with its all details,
                    this fossil is one of the examples that this species
                    never evolved. The features of today's cones were
                    the same as those of cones of 165 million years ago.
