The Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia) is a rare living fossil tree dating back to the age of dinosaurs. Fossil specimens reveal that it once thrived across Asia, Europe, and North America. Thought extinct for millions of years, living trees were discovered in central China in 1944, confirming their survival. Both fossil and living Metasequoia are deciduous conifers, shedding needles seasonally. Fossil specimens provide valuable insight into prehistoric forests, plant evolution, and ancient climates, making them highly sought by collectors, educators, and museums.
