8" Fossil Flora Plate - Green River Formation, Utah

Fossil Flora Plate - Green River Formation, Utah #218288

This is an interesting fossil flora plate from the Green River Formation of Utah. It contains fern and tree fossils, each of which features preserved primary venation. The dark preservation of the leaves contrasts nicely against the creme-colored shale.

While the Green River Formation is best know for its fish fossils, other areas produce incredible plant fossils.

Comes with an acrylic stand.

A note on Green River leaf identifications. Over 60 described leaf bearing plants have been identified from this formation, many of which have very similar leaves. We have done our best to provide identifications based on the resources available to us, but we are not paleobotany experts and cannot guarantee that all will be 100% correct.
