Name:
Ginkgo biloba Leaves
Age: Paleocene
Formation: Sentinnel Butte Formation
Location: Almont, North Dakota
Size: Larger leaf is 2.3 inches long
Here is a very uncommon pair of fossil Ginkgo leaves. These are Ginkgo biloba (formerly G. adiantoides) from the Paleocene of North Dakota. The large fossil leaves are quite distinct and preserve fine detail. The leaves have great form, and the palmate venation of the main Ginkgo leaf is wonderfully displayed (difficult to see in photo). Both specimens have petioles tightly attached to the leaves. The off-white color of the leaves contrasts beautifully with the dark brown matrix. The leaves are well showcased on the large plate of matrix that also contains some other plant fossils. This is a fabulous Ginkgo biloba double leaf from North Dakota.
This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally. A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
