This is a very distinct specimen of Leguminosites lesquereuxiana from the Green River Formation of Utah. This type of leaf has slightly undulated margins with very weak venation. This species is unusual in that the leaf has an emarginate, or indented, apex . A very short petiole is still attached to the leaf. The dark brown leaf contrasts nicely with the light-colored matrix. The fossil is well centered on the rectangular plate of shale. This is an extremely fine specimen of a fossil legume leaf from Utah.

A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
