Mosses are a major component of Arctic vegetation today, with 500 species known to date. However, the origins of the Arctic moss flora are poorly documented in the fossil record, especially prior to the Pliocene. Here, we present the first anatomically preserved pre-Cenozoic Arctic moss and discuss how the unique biology of bryophytes has facilitated their success in polar environments over geologic time. A permineralized fossil moss gametophyte within a block of Late Cretaceous terrestrial limestone, collected along the Col
