Here is aunusual plate of fossil leaves from the Eocene of Colorado. There are two different leaves beautifully displayed on this plate. On the left side of the slab is a large example of a Salix cockerelli (Willow) leaf. On the upper right side of the plate is a very nice Leguminosites lesquereuxiana Leaf. Both leaves have excellent detail - the venation is clearly defined. The leaves have great color and contrast and are well positioned on the large plate of shale. This is a very unusual plate of different types of leaves from the Green River Formation.
