Name:
Macginitiea wyomingensis (Sycamore Leaf)
Age: Eocene
Formation: Green River Formation
Location: Bonanza, Utah
Size: Leaf is 3 inches wide
This is a very fine specimen of a Macginitiea wyomingensis (Sycamore Leaf). This leaf is from the Green River Formation of Utah. All five lobes of the leaf are present, although the center lobe has been chewed on by a bug prior to fossilization - bug-eaten leaves are quite collectible. The leaf retains a long portion of the petiole. The brown fossil contrasts nicely with the light-colored matrix. The leaf is almost perfectly centered on the semi-square matrix block. This is a very pretty specimen of an unusual bug-eaten leaf from the Eocene.
