Here is a very nice fossil Ginkgo leaf. This is Ginkgo biloba (formerly G. adiantoides) from the Paleocene of North Dakota. This fossil leaf is quite distinct and preserves fine detail. The leaf has great form, and the palmate venation of the Ginkgo leaf is wonderfully displayed. This specimen has a small petiole tightly attached to the leaf. The off-white color of the leaf contrasts beautifully with the dark brown matrix. The leaf is well showcased on the colorful plate of matrix. This is a fine Ginkgo biloba leaf from North Dakota.
