fossil
There are many factors that make it more likely that an animal will be preserved as a fossil. One factor is living in a swampy area.
Species evolve over time. Some times it is rather slow and sometimes rather fast.
Fossil fuels are considered nonrenewable as they are the product of living things that died in the distant past.
Ginkgo has a Biloba root system. Ginkgo products come from a living fossil 200 years old.Most of the commercial leaf production comes from France and China.
The genus and species name of the tree that produces this leaf, is: Ginkgo biloba.Related Information:It is an interesting species and is called a living fossil. This is due to the fact that none of its close relatives are represented in the fossil record after the Pliocene epoch (ca 5.3 - 2.6 million years ago). This tree, alone of all its relatives, survives to the present.
