1.4" Unidentified Fossil Leaf - Ruby River Basin, Montana

Unidentified Fossil Leaf - Ruby River Basin, Montana #216594

This is an unidentified fossil leaf from the Oligocene Renova Formation in Ruby Basin, Montana. This fossil is part of an old collection that was collected in 1968. The preservation of the fossil is in good relief against the tan paper shale it was found in.

A note on fossil leaf identification: many leaf-bearing plant species have been described from this formation, many of which have very similar leaves. We've done our best to provide identifications based on the resources available to us, but are not paleobotany experts, so we can not guarantee that all will be 100% correct.
