2" Paleocene Fossil Leaf (Zizyphus) - Montana

This is a detailed fossil leaf (Zizyphus) from the Fort Union Formation of Montana. It is from the Paleocene epoch, or approximately 60 million years old. The orangish brown 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 are some areas of restoration on the surface of the leaf, where there was some flaking onto the negative.

It comes with an acrylic display stand.
