Paleocene Fossil Leaves (Davidia antiqua) - Montana
This is a pair of fossil leaves (Davidia antiqua) from the Fort Union Formation of Montana. It is from the Paleocene, or approximately 60 million years old. The dark orange preservation of the leaf fossil contrasts well against the lighter shale, and all the veins of the leaf can be seen in good relief. There are some minor touchups to the leaf where parts flaked onto the other side of the rock when split. It comes with an acrylic display stand.
