5.5" Plate with Three Fossil Leaves (Two Species) - Montana

These are three fossil leaves, two of the species Zizyphoides flabellum and one from of Davidia antiqua, collected from the Fort Union Formation near Glendive, Montana. The dark orange/brown preservation contrasts well against the shale, and many of the details in the leaves can be seen in good relief. There may be some touchups to the surface of the leaves where portions of them flaked onto the negative during collection.

This specimen includes an acrylic display stand.

#1 - Zizyphoides flabellum (1.5" & 1.3" wide)
#5 - Davidia antiqua (2.8" wide)
