1 fossil Metasequoia Tree leaf on matrix from Beaver Head County Montana. Each fossil is unique! You will receive one similar to pictures. Metasequoia fossils have been found in serval locations throughout the Northern Hemisphere and were first thought to be from an extinct tree until the 1940’s when living Metasequoia trees were discovered in China. Seeds from these trees have now been planted in many locations throughout the world. Metasequoia are also known as Dawn Redwood trees and are related to the giant redwood trees. Metasequoia are unique among redwood trees because they are deciduous rather than evergreen. Meaning they lose their leaves in the fall. The Metasequoia is the Oregon state fossil.

I wish there was a size comparison or an approximate dimension in the listing because I had purchased a fish fossil 6 times the size for only a little more. But it is a beautiful specimen and it is sources from the US, like my others. It is perfect for a small token to someone that loves and collects fossils. It also comes in a gift box with a card designating where it's from and a little about it.

I initially received a fossil that was a little too far off from center for my needs. I requested a replacement and the seller was very easy to work with and sent out a replacement as soon as possible that would better suit my needs.

Super awesome content when looking at it. A little smaller than expected but it's a fossil regardless... Can't be disappointed.But there were groove lines where the stone was split to expose the pretty little leaves and going to the actual leaves... Pedestrian performance, honestly. Q.C. seen better at flea markets.

I think I lucked out and got a particularly nice one. Just fascinated by it but am scared to break it as it does seem to have a solidity like hardened clay. But I’m glad to have it. Smells like pine tree and earth. If you’re on the fence about it I’d say def go for it! Nothing quite like holding a fossil in your hand.
