This is a very large sprig of a fossil cedar from the Eocene of British Columbia. The sprigs have small, scalelike leaves oppositely attached. The fossil has great black color and contrasts nicely with the brownish matrix. The branching sprig is quite aesthetic. This is a very nice specimen of this evergreen plant.
