Two Fossil Leaves (Davidia & Celtis) - Montana

These are two fossil leaves (Davidia antiqua and Celtis asperum) from the Fort Union Formation near Glendive, Montana. The Davidia leaf is 2.8" long and the Celtis leaf is 2.4" long. The orange 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.
