Oligocene Age 33 - 23 million years ago

The Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia) is an ancient deciduous conifer, with fossil records tracing back to the Mesozoic Era. Long considered extinct, it was rediscovered alive in central China in 1944, making it a famous living fossil. Fossil Metasequoia sheds its needles seasonally, like modern specimens. Today, this genus provides a direct connection to prehistoric forests, ancient climates, and plant evolution, and fossils are prized by paleobotanists, collectors, educators, and museums.
