(Sorry about the blurriness of the photo, I had my camera on the wrong setting...)This tree started growing in 550AD and wasn't cut down until 1892!
At some parts of the tree the bark is over 12 inches thick!
I'm not sure where the tree was growing, or what type of tree it was (I should probably have read the sign in a bit more detail, but I was too gobsmacked at the age of it!), but this was by far one of the most awesome things we saw in the museum... this and the Dinosaurs.
