2.7" Detailed Fossil Fern - Glendive, Montana

This is a detailed fossil of Dennstaedtia americana from the Fort Union Formation of Montana. It is from the Paleocene, or approximately 60 million years old. The dark brown/orange preservation contrasts well against the lighter shale, and details can be seen in good relief. There may be some touchups to the surface where some of it flaked onto the negative during collection.
