This is an unusual plant fossil. It is a wonderful Metasequoia Frond from a new find in the Paleocene of Montana. Metasequoia Fronds are much rarer in this formation than others - we have only ever seen this one. This distinct specimen is nicely intact - the leaflets are very clearly seen. The natural color makes for a striking display. The detailed frond is well showcased on the large, natural plate of shale. This is a very uncommon fossil Metasequoia Frond from an unusual location in Montana.
