2.7" Sycamore Leaf (Platanus) - Green River Formation, Colorado

This is a 2.7" fossil sycamore (Platanus) leaf from the Green River Formation of Colorado. It is in very good condition and the dark leaf stands out against the lighter stone. While the Green River Formation is best know for its fish fossils, other areas produce incredible plant fossils.

Comes with an acrylic stand.
