Name:
Unidentified Leaf, Sycamore Leaf
Age: Eocene
Formation: Green River Formation
Location: Bonanza, Utah
Size: Plate is 9.8 inches across
This is a very unique specimen of an Unidentified Leaf and Sycamore Leaf from the Green River Formation. The Unidentified Leaf is large and very easily seen. The leaf has a very long petiole intact. On the right is a fine specimen of a Macginitiea wyomingensis (Sycamore) leaf. This interesting lobed leaf is quite distinct in appearance. The left side of the leaf is bug-eaten - it has been entirely consumed by insect predation. The fossil leaves have great detail and wonderful natural color and contrast. The plants are nicely spaced on the rectangular plate of matrix. This is an extremely unusual association of two very uncommon leaves from the Eocene.
