This fossil is a two-sided one. The plant has left its imprint
on both surfaces of the layered stone.
METASEQUOIA
Age: 50 million years
Period: Eocene
Location: Cache Creek Formation, British Columbia, Canada
Metasequoia or "dawn redwood" is one of the largest, most upright and symmetrical trees of
the world. This fossilized leaf has been preserved for 50 million years, verifying that the
plant has never changed. If, 50 million years ago, a species possessed all the features it still
has today, if it displays not a single trace of evolution, if none of its features show any char-
acteristic of being an intermediate "missing link" fossil—and betray no inadequacy or "prim-
itiveness," in the words of evolutionists—then they cannot say that this species has evolved.
If a living species has not changed for millions of years and the Earth overflows with the ev-
idence, then it is not possible to talk about evolution.
