10.1" Fossil Plant (Fagus, Chamaecyparis, Pinus) Plate - McAbee, BC
This is a fossil leaf plate from the McAbee fossil beds of British Columbia, Canada. It contains a large leaf of the genus Fagus measuring 3.7". There are also needles of the genus Pinus measuring 2.3" at the longest, and a sprig of Chamaecyparis measuring 2.35".
The Tranquille Shale was formed by an ancient lake where the fossils were preserved in a fine layer of silt that built up over the years as diatoms in the lake bloomed and died. In 2012 the McAbee Fossil Bed was acquired by the Canadian government and declared a Canadian Heritage Site, so no additional material will be coming to the market from the site.
