Davidia antiqua, Platanus nobilis, Joffrea speirsii Paleocene Western United States The Paleocene Epoch, immediately following the mass extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, marked the development of modern plant species. Warm global temperatures facilitated the thick growth of forests worldwide. Tropical, subtropical and deciduous forests probably also grew more abundantly because of the lack of grazing dinosaurs, and the first recognizably modern rainforests arose. The present (63-58-million-year-old) leaf specimens are primarily of the dogwood family. Also seen is a sycamore member and a specimen from the Japanese scholar tree family. Measures 16 x 19 x 2in
