11" Plate With Six Fossil Leaves (Zizyphoides & Davidia) - Montana

These are six fossil leaves from the Fort Union Formation near Glendive, Montana. The rock contains two Zizyphoides flabellum leaves and four Davidia antiqua leaves. 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 metal display stand.

#1 - Zizyphoides flabellum (2.4" and 2.7")
#5 - Davidia antiqua (2.5", 2.8", 3.5" and 4")
