Here is an excellent example of a fruiting body from Platanus wyomingensis, a sycamore. This specimen is from the Green River Formation of Utah. This "sycamore ball" exhibits great detail - the "spike-like" seeds are beautifully displayed. The dark colored fossil contrasts nicely with the grayish-tan matrix. It is well positioned on the natural plate of shale. This is a wonderful specimen of a fruiting body from an Eocene sycamore tree.
