6.9" Wide Plate with Two Fossil Leaves (One Species) - Montana

These are two fossil leaves (one species) from the Fort Union Formation near Glendive, Montana. The rock contains two Zizyphoides flabellum leaves (3.45" long including stem & 2.7" wide). The 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 an acrylic display stand.
