The ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) is a living fossil, with fossils similar to the modern plant dating back to the Permian, 270 million years ago.The closest living relatives of the clade are the cycads, [4] which share with the extant G. biloba the characteristic of motile sperm.
A digital recreation of Baiera made from diverse images of fossils and academic descriptions. Ginkgo biloba is a living fossil, with fossils recognisably related to modern ginkgo from the early Permian , with likely oldest record being that of Trichopitys from the earliest Permian of France, over 290 million years old.

A living fossil is a deprecated term for an extant taxon that phenotypically resembles related species known only from the fossil record. To be considered a living fossil, the fossil species must be old relative to the time of origin of the extant clade. Living fossils commonly are of species-poor lineages, but they need not be.
Few tree fossils that date back to Earth’s earliest forests have ever been found, according to Gastaldo. Their discovery helps fill in some missing pieces of an incomplete fossil record.
Ginkgo huttonii is known largely by compression fossils of its leaves. Similar to other members of the Ginkgoites, the fossil leaves of G. huttonii are simple, four-lobed, and have dense, radially disposed venation. [3] [2] G. huttonii fossil seeds are frequently found as well as at least a few fossilized male catkins. [4]
