11.6" Plate with Three Fossil Leaves (Two Species) - Montana

These are three fossil leaves from the Fort Union Formation near Glendive, Montana. The plate consists of one leaf of the species Beringiaphyllum cupanoides and two of the species Davidia antiqua. The dark orange/brown preservation contrasts well against the shale, and many of the details in the leaves can be seen in good relief. There may be some touchups to the surface of the leaves where pieces of them flaked onto the negative during collection.

This specimen includes a display stand.

#30 - Beringiaphyllum cupanoides (3.85" long)
#5 - Davidia antiqua (2.9" long and 3.7" long)
