EXTINCTIONS Choice

This is a great specimen of Salix cockerelli, a Willow Leaf, from the Eocene of Utah. This long, lanceolate leaf is complete and exhibits fine detail. The finely-toothed margins are beautifully displayed, and the petiole is still tightly attached to the leaf. The specimen has excellent, natural color and contrast and is well centered on the semi-rectangular plate of shale. This is a very displayable example of a fossil Willow leaf from the Green River Formation.
