Name:
Cyclocarya brownii
Age: Paleocene
Formation: Sentinnel Butte Formation
Location: Almont, North Dakota
Size: Fruit is 1.05 inches across
Here is a very interesting plant specimen from the Paleocene of North Dakota. The plate contains a top quality fruiting body of Cyclocarya brownii. The Juglandaceous fruiting body displays very fine detail. The samara is very 3-dimensional in the center with the detailed "wings" preserved as white radiating lines. The fossil has very good color and contrast and is well centered on the matrix plate. This is a fabulous specimen of this strange, airborne fruit from the Paleocene.
