Name:
Sycamore Leaf and Other Leaves
Age: Eocene
Formation: Green River Formation
Location: Bonanza, Utah
Size: Plate is 9.7 inches tall
This is a very unusual multiple specimen of leaves from the Green River Formation. There is (left to right) an Alophylus flexifola leaf, Saxil (Willow) leaf, and a Macgintia (Sycamore) leaf on the plate. All three leaves are quite distinct in appearance. The venation is easily seen, and the serrated edges of the Sycamore are very impressive. The fossil leaves have great detail and wonderful natural color and contrast. The plants are nicely spaced on the rectangular plate of matrix. This is an extremely unusual association of three different leaves from the Eocene.
