HACKBERRY LEAF
Age: 45 million years
Period: Eocene
Location: Green River Formation, Wyoming, USA
Celtis or hackberry, is a genus of 60 to 70 deciduous trees widespread in East Asia,
South and Middle North America. They are generally medium-sized trees, reaching a
height of 10 to 25 meters (33 to 82 feet).
Like all other plants, hackberries have always remained as hackberries, as is testified
by the fossil record. All hackberry fossils unearthed to date reveal that the hackberries
of today are identical with those that lived tens of millions of years ago. This exact sim-
ilarity refutes the theory of evolution.
