Visitors to the Stonerose Interpretive Center can't wait to see the 50 million-year-old fossil that serves as our logo and that was featured in the July 2002 issue of National Geographic. Most folks are surprised to learn that our lovely little rose isn't a rose at all. Instead, it's related to an extinct variety of cocoa tree. Learn more about the fossil's real name... > |
