This is a very unusual fossil leaf. It is a fabulous Corylus insignus (Hazelnut) Leaf from a new find in the Paleocene of Montana. This specimen has great shape - and the serrations, reticulation, and venation are clearly seen. The fabulous color makes for a striking display.

This is a very fine example of a split pair fossil Hazelnut leaf from an unusual location in Montana.
