Some beautiful fossil coconuts from Nortland in New Zealand, they are roughly 15 million years old. They are Cocos zeylandica and show New Zealand used to be quite a bit warmer. I visited a fellow fossil hunter and she kindly gave me these, I'll have to go find some myself one day The scientific info is from the GNS website
