Fossil Leaves
Add 10 Million
Years to Record

A Smithsonian Institution sci
enlist has just added 10 million
years on the recorded history OF
Towering plants.
He is DR.. Roland w. Brown,
paleontologist of the Smithso-
MAN and Geological Survey. DR.
Brown found fossil leaves of a
palm, apparently the earliest yet
known. 1t lived at least 100 mil
lion years ago.
The fossil imprintS of palm
like leaves were found in a geo.
logical formation in Southwest
ern Colorado dating from the
so-called Triassic period of geo.
logical time. DR.. Brown has as
signed the species tentatively to
the hitherto unknown genus
Sanmiguelia, of the plant class
that includes palms, grasses
sedges and many other flower
ing groups.
The discovery carries the his
tory Of Towering plants about 10
million years further into the
past. But, DR.. Brown says, there
must have been a long period OF
development before this Colo
RADIO palm.
Associated with the palm-leaf
imprints were teeth of ancient
