6.95" Wide Plate with Three Fossil Leaves (Two Species) - Montana
These are three fossil leaves (two species) from the Fort Union Formation near Glendive, Montana. The rock contains one leaf of the uncommon buckwheat/knotweed family, Polygonaceae (#39), and two Cissites rocklandensis leaves (#51), and one Davidia antiqua leaf (#5). 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-metal display stand.
