Unidentified Plant

This is a beautiful fossil plant. It is a complete leafing branch from Brazil. This specimen is from the Cretaceous, so it could have possibly been a future meal for a plant-eating dinosaur. The fossil is very complete and nicely detailed. The venation of the leaves is similar to that of a ginkgo. The fossil has fabulous orange color and contrasts beautifully with the lighter colored matrix. The branch is nicely showcased on the natural matrix plate. This is a very unusual fossil plant from the time of the Dinosaurs.
