👉 The term "Dale Tiffany" refers to a rare, extremely rare type of fossilized plant in the family Asteraceae, found near the base of the Himalaya mountains in India. Asteraceae are flowering plants with a common name. They include things like aster flowers, which grow on trees and shrubs (like wild rosemary), and often the seeds from these flowers. This type of plant is called a "flowering tree," like a cherry or a pear tree. The fossilized flower in Dale Tiffany is extremely rare and unique. It's thought to be over 130 million years old, making it one of the oldest known flowering plants. The name "Dale" refers to its location near the base of the Himalaya mountain range in India, where most of these plants are found. The fossilized flower has been studied extensively by archaeologists and botanists for over a century. It's not known what caused it to appear suddenly or how it formed, but it is believed to have grown from a parent plant that was lost to the environment.
