The Martin Fossil

During an excavation operation on May 21, 2008, a petrified log (Cretaceous Fossil) was unearthed and recognized as significant by Jeff Martin. Upon subsequent inspection of the fossil by geologists it was determined that the fossil was formerly a palm tree, approximately 72 million years old. The fossil's size, age and good condition is what makes it so unique. It is seated below Tower A1, University Village Shopping Centre, Nanaimo, BC.
