Due to their delicate nature, flowers are very rare in the fossil record. This is a very distinct specimen of a fossil flower from the Eocene of Utah. This flower is extremely well preserved - the four petals of the flower are easily seen. The flower has excellent color and contrast and is well centered on the plate of shale.
