This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Fossil leaf C016 / 5959, a remarkable specimen of the extinct plant species Credneria denticulata. Discovered in the Czech Republic, this fossilized leaf from the Cretaceous period offers us a glimpse into an ancient world that existed millions of years ago.

The perfectly preserved leaf serves as a testament to the wonders of paleontology and provides valuable insights into prehistoric flora. As we admire this fossilized relic held at the prestigious Natural History Museum in London, UK, we are reminded of Europe's rich natural history and its contribution to our understanding of evolution. This angiosperm belonging to the Platanaceae family represents one branch on humanity's vast ancestral tree.

It is a tribute to both scientific exploration and artistic expression, capturing not only an extinct species but also igniting curiosity about life forms that once thrived on Earth. With its meticulous attention to detail and evocative presence, this print transports us back through millennia while simultaneously reminding us of our responsibility to preserve and protect today's diverse plant life for future generations.
