MAGNOLIA LEAF
Age: 54-37 million years
Period: Eocene
Location: Cache Creek Formation, British Columbia, Canada
The magnolia tree, named after French botanist Pierre Magnol, is a large genus compris-
ing about 210 species. The fossil pictured is about 50 million years old. Magnolias, as
shown by other 95-million-year-old fossils, have always remained as magnolias since the
moment they existed. They have neither evolved from any other plants, nor turned into
any other species. Fossil record remains to be one of the most important proofs of this
fact.
