Step into prehistoric times with this genuine fossilised plant specimen from British Columbia, formed during the Eocene Epoch—a critical period in Earth’s history when the climate was warm and lush forests covered much of the Northern Hemisphere. This stunning piece captures the imprint of ancient flora that once thrived in an environment teeming with life and biodiversity.

The British Columbia fossil beds are renowned for their exceptional preservation of plant material, thanks to fine sedimentary layering and volcanic ash deposits that rapidly buried and protected leaves, twigs, and seeds. These ideal conditions created a time capsule of vegetation from over 50 million years ago.

This particular fossil preserves the delicate impression or structure of a prehistoric leaf or plant fragment, offering a direct connection to the ecosystem of the Eocene forests. Such fossils are not only visually striking but are also vital tools for understanding the development of modern plant families and Earth’s ancient climate systems.

Why this specimen is special:

• Genuine prehistoric flora from a scientifically important site
• Formed during the globally warm Eocene climate optimum
• Excellent for educational use, scientific interest, or natural décor
• Sourced and selected with care

The Eocene Period – A Time of Transition:

The Eocene marked a major evolutionary expansion of modern mammals and flowering plants. These fossil plant remains provide critical insight into how Earth’s vegetation adapted to warmer temperatures, making them valuable to both paleobotanists and collectors.
