Name:
Distylium eocenica
Age: Eocene
Formation: Green River Formation
Location: Bonanza, Utah
Size: Leaf is 3.1" long, 2.4" wide
This is a rare Eocene leaf. It is Distylium eocenica from the Green River Formation of Utah. This broadly triangular leaf appears to have been chewed on by a bug along the undulating margins of the leaf. The venation of the leaf is very clearly defined, and a long petiole is still tightly attached. The leaf has excellent color and contrast and is well centered on the squared plate of shale. This is a very nice example of this unusual leaf from Utah - only the second and probably the last one we will have.
