Hi,

You can search for species from here: http://www.gbif.org/species/ and choose "View Occurrences", then add the filter.

Or, you can remove the text search, and add a species search.

http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?taxon_key=8307747&basis_of_record=FOSSIL_SPECIMEN

The new website will improve the way this works, though it doesn't yet support downloads: https://demo.gbif.org/search?q=Metasequoia
