Here is a very aesthetic specimen of Salix cockerelli, a Willow, from the Eocene of Colorado. The specimen is complete and nicely detailed. The lanceolate leaf displays the finely toothed margins extremely well, with the short petiole still intact. The specimen has excllent color and contrast and is well showcased on the rectangular plate of matrix. This is one of the better Willow leaves that we have seen from Colorado.
