2.2" Fossil Leaf (Zizyphoides flabellum) - Montana

This is a very detailed fossil leaf of Zizyphoides flabellum from the Fort Union Formation of Montana. It is from the Paleocene, or approximately 60 million years old. The dark orange preservation of the leaf fossil contrasts well against the lighter shale, and all the veins of the leaf can be seen in good relief. There is also a well preserved Beringiaphyllum cupanoides leaf on the other side of the matrix. It comes with an acrylic display stand.
