GINKGO LEAF
Age: 50 million years
Period: Eocene
Location: Cache Creek Formation, British Columbia, Canada
Of the Earth' s rocks, 99 percent has been excavated, and roughly 100 million fossils be-
longing to 250 thousand still-living species have been unearthed. Among these fossils,
there exists not one intermediate form, or any fossil belonging to a primitive version of a
"later" organism. From the first moment they appear in the fossil record, living beings dis-
play complete and complex structures. This ginkgo leaf from the Eocene epoch (54 to 37
million years ago) is no different from the ginkgo leaves of our own day.
