Sassafras sp.

Here is a very unusual leaf. This is Sassafras sp. from the Eocene of Canada. This beautiful tri-lobed leaf exhibits fine detail. The venation of the leaf is nicely displayed. The orangish-brown colored fossil contrasts nicely with the tannish matrix. It is well positioned on the natural plate of shale. There is also a large partial leaf of a different type on the reverse side of the plate. This is a very nice example of an uncommon sassafras leaf.
