EXTINCTIONS Choice

Name:   Ginkgo biloba Leaf
Age:  Paleocene
Formation:  Sentinnel Butte Formation

Here is a very nice fossil Ginkgo leaf plate. This is Ginkgo biloba from the Paleocene of North Dakota. This classic fossil leaf is quite large and preserves fine detail. The leaf has great form, and the palmate venation of the Ginkgo leaf is wonderfully displayed. This fan-like leaf has beautiful off-white color, which contrasts beautifully with the orange-brown matrix. The leaf is well showcased on the plate of matrix that also contains another very nice Ginkgo leaf! This is a great double example of classic fossil Ginkgo leaves.
