Antarctic Palm
Antarctica was not always the frozen wasteland we see today. 55 million years ago, the continent was a lush forest filled with plants that can still be found below the Antarctic ice in fossil form.
This specimen is a fossil palm tree fragment, uncovered during a Soviet expedition to the continent in 1986. It measures between 0.5-0.75" and ships in a handsome riker display case with an informational card that serves as statement of authenticity.
