Well, you could use find to get a list of all the files that were last-modified in a certain time window, but that isn't quite what you want. I don't think you can tell just from a file's metadata when it came into existence.

Edit: To list the files along with their modification dates, you can pipe the output of find through xargs to run ls -l on all the files, which will show the modification time.

find /somepath -type f ... -print0 | xargs -0 -- ls -l
