Populus wilmattae
Age: Eocene

This is a very displayable specimen of Populus wilmattae, a poplar leaf, from the Green River Formation of Utah. This rounded leaf has crenate margins and a long acuminate apex which is unusually intact to the very tiny tip. The venation of the leaf is beautifully displayed and easily seen with the naked eye. The long, complete petiole is still tightly attached to the base of the leaf. The fossil has great color and contrast and is almost perfectly centered on the natural plate of shale. This is a very pretty specimen of an extinct poplar leaf.
