Two Fossil Leaves with Detailed Crane Flies - Green River Formation

These are two fossil leaves and several detailed crane flies, collected from the Green River Formation of Utah. One of these crane flies has exceptional preservation that shows legs and wings. While the Green River Formation is best know for its fish fossils, other areas produce incredible plant fossils and insect fauna.

A note on Green River leaf identifications. Over 60 described leaf bearing plants have been identified from this formation, many of which have very similar leaves. We have done our best to provide identifications based on the resources available to us, but we are not paleobotany experts and cannot guarantee that all will be 100% correct.
