EXTINCTIONS Choice

Name:   Macginitiea wyomingensis (Sycamore Leaf)
Age:  Eocene
Formation:  Green River Formation
Location:  Bonanza, Utah
Size:  Leaf is 4.65 inches wide

This is a very nice specimen of Macginitiea wyomingensis, a Sycamore leaf, from the Eocene of Utah. It is difficult to obtain Macginitiea leaves that are as distinct as this specimen. This leaf is complete with all five lobes present. The venation on this specimen is very strongly pronounced, and the serrated borders are very easily seen. A long, stout petiole is attached to the leaf. The leaf has good color and contrast and is well centered on a squared block of shale that also contains a fine Zelcova nervosa (Keaki Tree) leaf. This is a very displayable example of a fossil Sycamore leaf.

This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
