This is a gorgeous fossil leaf. It is a Zelkova nervosa (Keaki Tree) leaf from the Green River Formation of Utah. This lance-shaped leaf is complete and exhibits wonderful detail. The serrated margins of the leaf are beautifully displayed, and the venation is just spectacular. The short petiole is still tightly attached to the base of the leaf. The fossil leaf has great color and contrast and is almost perfectly centered on the natural plate of shale. This is a striking example of a Zelkova leaf from the Eocene.
