Name:Ginkgo dissecta
Age: Early Middle Eocene
Size (25.4mm=1 inch): The fossil leaf is 1 1/16 x 1 ¼” on a 2 ½ x 3” plate
Fossil Location: McAbee Fossil Beds, Tranquille Shale, Cache Creek, British Columbia, Canada
Comments: The Ginkgophyta probably originated about the same time as the Cycads during the late Paleozoic, with fossils found in North America until the Miocene. The fan-shaped leaves of most members are quite distinctive. This one is atypical, with deeply dissected leaves with 4 lobes that are further divided, making the derivation of the specific name obvious. Gingko biloba is the only extant member. The flora was dominated by conifers farther away from the lake, and elm, birch, beech, and alder near to the lakeshore. This specimen is a fine example of a ginko leave from the lacustrine deposits of the McAbee Flora of the Eocene of British Columbia, Canada with fine preservational details. A shallow lake dominated the region. Plant matter which fell into the water was covered with a fine layer of silt, which built up over the years as a result of deposition of diatoms, which bloomed in the lake each spring and died in the summer.
