NARG Special Publication #1

NARG is proud to present it's first formal publication Geologic History of the Giant Sequoia by Gary D. Lowe. This 76-page paper back book summarizes the fossil record of the Giant Sequoia and the Coast Redwood, breaking from the century old interpretation of a Mesozoic origin of the giant sequoia and makes a multi-disciplinary evaluation of the plausibility of both trees having drived from the extinct Tertiary species Sequoia affinis.
