EXTINCTIONS Choice

Age:  Eocene

This is a gorgeous fossil leaf. It is a distinct Zelkova nervosa (Keaki Tree) leaf from the Green River Formation of Utah. This lance-shaped leaf is complete and exhibits wonderful detail. The serrated margins of the leaf are beautifully displayed, and the venation is just spectacular. The short petiole is still tightly attached to the base of the leaf. The fossil leaf has great color and contrast and is well centered on the natural plate of shale. This is a fabulous example of a Zelkova leaf from the Eocene.
