Yes, find will do that.  The easiest way to do that is probably
with "find -cmin".  It tests for the creation time of the file in
minutes.

find -cmin 100     # find files from exactly 100 minutes ago
find -cmin -100    # find files from less than 100 minutes ago
find -cmin +100    # find files from more than 100 minutes ago

Depending on the situation, it might be somewhat unwieldy to use
exact times - I'd probably use upper and lower bounds.
