Stock Number  FPUSA24
EXTINCTIONS Choice

Name:   Salix cockerelli (Willow Leaf)
Age:  Eocene
Formation:  Green River Formation
Location:  Bonanza, Utah
Size:  Leaf is 2.25'' long including petiole

This is a great specimen of Salix cockerelli, a Willow Leaf, from the Eocene of Utah. This long, lanceolate leaf exhibits very fine detail. The central venation is nicely displayed, and the petiole (stem) is still tightly attached to the leaf. The specimen has excellent, natural color and contrast and is well showcased on the semi-rectangular plate of shale. This is a very good example of a Willow leaf from the Green River Formation.
