Stock Number  FPUPC04

Name:   Populus cinnamomoides
Age:  Eocene
Formation:  Green River Formation
Location:  Bonanza, Utah

Here is an excellent specimen of Populus cinnamomoides. This leaf is from the Eocene of Utah. This lance-shaped leaf is complete to the very tip and exhibits very fine detail. The slightly dentate margins are easily seen and the venation of the leaf is beautifully defined. The long, complete petiole is still attached to the leaf. The fossil has outstanding color and contrast. It is very nicely centered on the rectangular plate of matrix. This is a great specimen of Populus cinnamomoides from the Green River Formation.
