Two Detailed Fossil Mulberry Leaves - Montana

These are two detailed Morus montanensis (Mulberry) leaf fossils from the Fort Union Formation of Montana. They're from the Paleocene epoch, or approximately 60 million years old. The dark brown preservation of the leaf fossil contrasts well against the lighter shale. There may be some touchups to the surface of the leaf where some of it flaked onto the negative during collection.

This specimen comes with an acrylic display stand.
