That is a very grand metasequoia.

They're so very rare, and I'd only seen one living before (the one outside the Peabody Museum at Yale). The first time I ever saw Metasequia needles, I was splitting open slabs of clay from the Late Creatceous. And then, yesterday, I bumped into the branch, and said, this is a Metasequia, utterly amazed. A few seconds later,Spooky found a plaque near the near confirming my ID.
