There was just down the road from me ===>>> 72 million year old fossil palm tree... Fossilized Palm Tree \| City of Nanaimo 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. The Cretaceous fossil was discovered at Latitude = 49.1561, Longitude = -123.9502 The importance of such a find has been met with enthusiasm by the earth sciences community and to date is the largest fossilized piece of wood found in the area.
