Here is a very nice double specimen of Metasequoia occidentalis, the "Dawn Redwood", from the Oligocene of Montana. Metasequoia is a ''living fossil'' - they have been found in rocks as old as the Upper Cretaceous and they are still alive today! These sprigs have great color and superb contrast. The detail is excellent - the needles show opposite attachment on the foliage shoots. The fronds are well positioned on the natural plate of matrix. This is a fine double specimen of Metasequoia from Montana.
