Name:
Macginitiea wyomingensis (Sycamore Leaf)
Age: Eocene
Formation: Green River Formation
Location: Bonanza, Utah
Size: Leaf is 4.6 inches wide
This is a fabulous fossil leaf. It is a large Macginitiea wyomingensis (Sycamore Leaf) from the Green River Formation of Utah. This leaf is wonderfully complete - all five lobes of the leaf are present and beautifully displayed. But the most amazing feature of this leaf is the distinctly serrated borders. The ''saw-toothed'' margins of the leaf are easily seen, and the venation is clearly defined. A long petiole is still tightly attached to the base of the leaf. The natural, dark-brown color of the leaf contrasts strikingly with the lighter-colored matrix. The fossil is well presented on the large, natural plate of shale that also contains a wonderful Leguminosites lesquereuxi (Legume) leaf. This is a spectacular display specimen of a serrated Sycamore leaf from the Green River Formation.
This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
