The eocine to miocene sedimentary rocks of the Calvert Formation in Maryland (same age range as the tree parts in this article plus or minus) have fossil pollens and tree parts of maples, oaks and other species that are pretty close to temperate forests of today. It blows my mind, that if we landed in a temperate forest 20 or 40 million years ago we might be familiar with the scenery, but not even primates would be around yet.
I took a palynology course getting my BS in Geology in ‘89 at OSU. Never cared much for paleontology but LOVED the fossil pollens, many of them gymnosperms. So familiar yet so distant. Palynology is an incredible way of dating events, whether tens of millions or thousands of years old.

In 1951 my parents were on their way to California with a new car they had just bought in Oklahoma. Passing through Tucumcari, they were forced to buy New Mexico license plates for the car.
