Fossil record

Sloanea olmediaefolia has been described from many fossil leaves collected from lower Oligocene strata from 1857 to 1889 in Santa Giustina and Sassello in Central Liguria, Italy.[2] Fossil leaves of this species have also been collected from the continental (fluvial and limnic) beds of the Csatka Formation near Oroszlány (West Hungary, Northeast Transdanubia), these beds are from the 34 million years old Oligocene regional stage Kiscellian.[3]

gollark: Esolangs fractures into two divided by different opinions on game theory WHEN?
gollark: It works if they're *identical* and know they'll both make the same decision.
gollark: Taking one box is also rational because if you do you get 1 million and if you don't you get 10000.
gollark: Predicting which box I'll take effectively means running a high accuracy simulation of me. Thus, since I may be being simulated when I choose, my choice does affect the (eventual) box content, thus take one box.
gollark: No. I've thought about this.
