Ginkgo huttonii is known largely by compression fossils of its leaves.
Similar to other members of the Ginkgoites, the fossil leaves of G. huttonii are simple, four-lobed, and have dense, radially disposed venation.
G. huttonii fossil seeds are frequently found as well as at least a few fossilized male catkins.
G. huttonii wood has yet to be described but it is likely the plant was similar to the extant, G. biloba, with wood akin to that of modern day conifers.
