2" Eocene Fossil Leaf (Oreopanax) - Green River Formation, Utah

This is a fossil leaf of the species Oreopanax elongatum, a genus with living members in Central and South America. The leaf is 2" long and on a piece of shale. It is nicely preserved with crisp edges and brown coloration, as well as signs of insect predation. While the Green River Formation is best known for its fish fossils from Wyoming, other areas produce incredible plant fossils.

Comes with an acrylic stand.
