Wollemi Pine - a living fossil
When scientists announced the discovery of the Wollemi Pine in Australia, in
1994, it caused a sensation. Some reported that it was like finding a living
dinosaur, because the tree was only known from fossils in 'Jurassic' rocks. That
would make it extinct for 150 million years, by evolutionary reckoning.
