Here is a HUGE fossil Ginkgo leaf. This is Ginkgo adiantoides from the Paleocene of North Dakota. This classic fossil leaf is extremely large (almost five inches across!) and preserves fine detail. The leaf has great form, and the palmate venation of the Ginkgo leaf is wonderfully displayed (difficult to see in photo). This fan-like leaf has beautiful golden color, which contrasts beautifully with the orange-brown matrix. The leaf is well showcased on the large plate of matrix that also contains other Ginkgo leaves. This is one of the finest Ginkgo leaves we have ever seen available for sale.
