6.05" Wide Plate with Two Fossil Leaves (Two Species) - Montana

These are two fossil leaves (two species) from the Fort Union Formation near Glendive, Montana. The rock contains one Zizyphoides flabellum leaf (#1) and one Davidia antiqua leaf (#5). The 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.

#1 - Zizyphoides flabellum (1.3" long)
#5 - Davidia antiqua (2.55" long)
