Qurecus Plant FossilDescription: The region from which this specimen comes bears evidence of glaciation dating back to the Permian. There is a broad spectrum of ages preserved in the region, with this specimen coming from the Eocene. This one is a member of the genus Quercus to which the modern-day oak belongs. They are members of the Fagaceae, or beeches, which is why this one looks far more like a typical beech leaf than the oak leaves of today.
