      Solution

      Event (A) describes a specific discovery: an orchid fossil that is between 45 and 55 million years old. This discovery is the cause. Event (B) describes the logical consequence or impact of that discovery: because the new fossil is significantly older than the previous record (20-30 million years), the act of finding it is what "shatters" the old record. Therefore, Event (B) is the effect of the discovery described in Event (A). Hence, Event (A) is the cause and Event (B) is its effect.
