This is a very good specimen of Leguminosites lesquereuxiana from the Green River Shale. The large leaf displays the emarginate apex that is typical of this species. The undulate margins are intact. The specimen exhibits a short petiole still attached to a branch, which is extremely unusual. The fossil has good color and contrast and is nicely centered on the natural plate of shale. This is a very distinct specimen of Leguminosites from the Eocene of Utah.
