Name:
Platanus wyomingensis (Sycamore)
Age: Eocene
Formation: Green River Formation
Location: Bonanza, Utah
Size: Leaf is 6'' long including petiole
This is a spectacular fossil leaf. It is a very large, nearly perfect specimen of Platanus wyomingensis, a Sycamore, from the Green River Formation of Utah. This leaf is wonderfully complete - all five lobes of the leaf are present and complete to the tiny tips. The slightly serrated margins of the leaf are easily seen, and the venation is clearly defined. The long, complete petiole is still tightly attached to the base of the leaf. The dark brown color of the fossil contrasts superbly with the khaki-colored matrix. The leaf is well centered on the thin, somewhat rectangular plate of shale. This is a beautiful and highly displayable specimen of a Sycamore leaf suitable for the most discerning collector.
