5.6" Wide Plate with Three Fossil Leaves ("Zizyphus") - Montana

These are three fossil leaves from the Fort Union Formation near Glendive, Montana. All three leaves belong to the species "Zizyphus" fibrillosus. 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 pieces of them flaked onto the negative during collection.

This specimen includes an acrylic display stand.
