Two Fossil Willow Leaves (Salix) - Green River Formation, Utah
This is an impressive fossil willow (Salix) leaf from the Green River Formation, Utah. It is in very good condition and the dark leaf stands out against the lighter stone. This specimen is two leaves on top of each other. The smaller leaf is on top of the large one. There is a repaired crack in the stone of this specimen.
While the Green River Formation is best know for its fish fossils, other areas produce incredible plant fossils.
Comes with an acrylic stand.
