Description
Ginkgo dissecta Mustoe 2002
Eocene
Kamloops Group
Kamloops, British Columbia
British Columbia, Canada.
Unlike the living Ginkgo biloba, which has broad fan shaped leaves, Ginkgo dissecta is characterized by deeply divided, narrow lobes that create a finely cut or dissected appearance. This gives the leaf a striking, delicate form that is highly sought after by fossil plant collectors.
85mm rare Ginkgo leaf on 129mm brown shale.
