Name:
Zelkova nervosa (Keaki Tree) Leaf
Age: Eocene
Formation: Green River Formation
Location: Bonanza, Utah
Size: Leaf is 2.2 inches long
Here is a very pretty fossil leaf. This is Zelkova nervosa (Keaki Tree) from the Green River Formation of Utah. This lance-shaped leaf has the slightly serrated margins wonderfully displayed, and the slightly rounded tip of the leaf is totally intact. The venation of the leaf is quite evident, and the stout petiole is still tightly attached to the base of the leaf. The fossil plant has great color and contrast and is well showcased on the natural plate of shale. This is a very fine specimen of a fossil leaf from the Keaki Tree.
