Here is a nice double specimen of Metasequoia occidentalis, "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 fossils have great color and superb contrast. They are well positioned on the natural plate of matrix. The needles show opposite attachment on the foliage shoots. This is a fine specimen of Metasequoia from Montana.
