1.8" Fossil Cedrelospermum Leaf with Beetle - Utah

This is a fossil leaf of Cedrelospermum nervosum, an extinct species of plant classified within the Ulmaceae family, which includes modern trees like elm and hackberry, collected from the Green River Formation of Utah. It measures 1.8" long and is located alongside a small but detailed beetle (order Coleoptera) fossil. The plate itself measures 3.3 x 3.25".

While the Green River Formation is best know for its fish fossils, other areas produce incredible plant and insect fossils.
