This is a nice specimen of a "pea pod" from a fossil legume. This fruit is from the Eocene of Utah. The fossil looks like a "snap pea", or "sugar pea" pod. The fossil has great color and contrasts wonderfully with the lighter-colored matrix. The specimen is nicely centered on the natural matrix plate. This is an excellent example of a fossilized pea pod from the Green River Formation.
