Two Fossil Mulberry (Morus) Leaves - Montana

These are two Morus montanensis (Mulberry) leaf fossils from the Fort Union Formation of Montana. They're from the Paleocene epoch, or approximately 60 million years old. The dark brown preservation of the leaf fossil contrasts well against the lighter shale. There are some touchups to the surface of the leaves where some of it flaked onto the negative during collection.

This specimen comes with an acrylic display stand.
