Stock Number  FPUAL32
EXTINCTIONS Choice

Name:   Allophylus flexifolia Leaf
Age:  Eocene
Formation:  Green River Formation
Location:  Bonanza, Utah
Size:  Leaf is 6.5" including petiole!

Here is a beautiful example of an Allophylus flexifolia leaf from the Green River Shale. This HUGE leaf (six and a half inches long!) is complete and exhibits fine detail. The undulate margins are intact, and the distinct venation of the leaf is easily seen. The short, stout petiole is firmly attached to the leaf. The fossil displays great natural color and superb contrast. The leaf is well showcased on the rectangular block of matrix that also contains a small Zelkova leaf. This is a fabulous specimen of a very large Allophylus leaf from the Eocene of Utah.
